Template Attacks Against Lightweight Block Cipher Algorithm DoT

As an important way of side channel analysis,template attacks have excellent distinguishing ability in the cracking of encryption algorithms.Recently,a lightweight block cipher algorithm called DoT performs well in both hardware and software implementation.Although some progress has been made in the traditional mathematical attacks against DoT,whether DoT can resist side channel attacks in practice remains to be an unsolved problem.This paper proposes a template attack method against DoT based on the structure of the DoT algorithm and its characteristics of S-box.This attack method uses the Hamming weight model to present the energy consumption features of the running encryption algorithms,takes the specific distribution of S-box output as the intermediate state value to construct the differentiator,and thus recovers the secret key.Experimental results show that the DoT algorithm is vulnerable to this kind of template attacks,which require only 6 groups of plaintexts to recover 8 bit key information.
