title = "A look into SIMON from a side-channel perspective",
abstract = "SIMON is a lightweight block cipher, specially designed for resource constrained devices that was recently presented by the National Security Agency (NSA). This paper deals with a hardware implementation of this algorithm from a side-channel point of view as it is a prime concern for embedded systems. We present the implementation of SIMON on a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA and propose a low-overhead countermeasure using first-order Boolean masking exploiting the simplistic construction of SIMON. Finally we evaluate the side-channel resistance of both implementations.",
