The security of CPU smart cards,which are widely used throughout China,is currently being threatened by side-channel analysis.Typical countermeasures to side-channel analysis involve adding noise and filtering the power consumption signal.In this paper,we integrate appropriate preprocessing methods with an improved attack strategy to generate a key recovery solution to the shortcomings of these countermeasures.Our proposed attack strategy improves the attack result by combining information leaked from two adjacent clock cycles.Using our laboratory-based power analysis system,we verified the proposed key recovery solution by performing a successful correlation power analysis on a Triple Data Encryption Standard(3DES)hardware module in a real-life 32-bit CPU smart card.All 112 key bits of the 3DES were recovered with about 80 000 power traces.
