Abstract
Timing attacks break a cryptosystem by time measurement to recover keys. Most available countermeasures protect block ciphers based on the safety of modules. This paper gives a complete definition of timing attacks and studies the vulnerability of operations and modules on timing attack. We present a method to transfer the security of the algorithm to that of secure operations by reduction. As a result, we modern croptography with real-world implementations of block ciphers.

A method for obtaining digital signatures and public-key cryptosystems

TL;DR: An encryption method is presented with the novel property that publicly revealing an encryption key does not thereby reveal the corresponding decryption key.

Timing Attacks on Implementations of Diffie-Hellman, RSA, DSS, and Other Systems

TL;DR: By carefully measuring the amount of time required to perform private key operalions, attackers may be able to find fixed Diffie-Hellman exponents, factor RSA keys, and break other cryptosystems.

Optimal asymmetric encryption

TL;DR: A slightly enhanced scheme is shown to have the property that the adversary can create ciphertexts only of strings for which she “knows” the corresponding plaintexts—such a scheme is not only semantically secure but also non-malleable and secure against chosen-ciphertext attack.

The RC5 encryption algorithm

TL;DR: This document describes the RC5 encryption algorithm, a fast symmetric block cipher suitable for hardware or software implementations and a novel feature of RC5 is the heavy use of data-dependent rotations.
