Abstract
Robust and partially robust codes are used in
cryptographic devices for detecting active side channel attacks
on the hardware. The codes are usually designed for uniformly
distributed codewords. In practice, however, there are codewords
that are much more likely to appear than others. This paper
addresses the question of how good are existing robust codes in
this context. The worst case scenario is analyzed and a method
that allows the designer to avoid this scenario with a relatively
low cost is presented.
