Revisiting Higher-Order Masked Comparison for Lattice-Based Cryptography: Algorithms and Bit-sliced Implementations

This is the code supporting our paper: "Revisiting Higher-Order Masked Comparison for Lattice-Based Cryptography: Algorithms and Bit-sliced Implementations" (https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/110).

Instructions

The build flow for this repository is based on libopencm and the libopencm3-template repository. It also takes away some elements from PQM4. The code targets the STM32F407G-DISC1 board, but a make target is also available for executing on a host PC.

Being able to run the code in those repositories is a pre-requisite for this repository. In particular, it is necessary to install/setup:

  • The arm-none-eabi-gcc toolchain
  • stlink
  • Python3 with pyserial

It also also necessary to initialize libopencm:

  • git submodule update --init libopencm3
  • make -C libopencm3

Makefile

The code in this repository can be built with make and flashed to the board with make flash. The serial output can be retrieved with make screen, which should be set-up before flashing the binary.

There are a few optional flags that can be selected in the Makefile:

  • Profiling can be enabled: {PROFILE_TOP_CYCLES, PROFILE_TOP_RAND, PROFILE_STEP_CYCLES, PROFILE_STEP_RAND}.

    • PROFILE_x_CYCLES profiles the number of cycles for either the total execution (x=TOP) or the individual steps (x=STEP).

    • PROFILE_x_RAND profiles the requested number of random bytes for either the total execution (x=TOP) or the individual steps (x=STEP).

  • The scheme can be selected: {SABER, KYBER}

  • The number of shares can be configured: {NSHARES=x}

  • The number of tests can be configured: {NTESTS=x}

  • The comparison technique can be selected: {Simple, GF, Arith, Hybridsimple}

Additionally, it is possibly to compile the code for execution on a host PC by setting {PLATFORM=host}. This also enables the -DDEBUG flag, which adds debugging statements to the code execution within the routines. The host executable can then be run with make run, which can be used for testing purposes.
