Abstract

Recently, Li et al. proposed a new differential fault analysis(DFA) attack on the block cipher ARIA using about 45 ciphertexts. In this paper, we apply their DFA skill on AES and improve attack method and its analysis. The basic idea of our DFA method is that we recover intermediate ciphertexts in last round using final faulty ciphertexts and find out last round secret key. In addition, we present detail DFA procedure on AES and analysis of complexity. Furthermore computer simulation result shows that we can recover its 128-bit secret key by introducing a correct ciphertext and 2 faulty ciphertexts.
