Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure involves receiving an input message, generating a first random value that is used to blind the input message to prevent a side-channel analysis (SCA) attack, computing a second random value using the first random value and a factor used to compute the Montgomery form of a blinded input message without performing an explicit Montgomery conversion of the input message, and computing a signature using Montgomery multiplication, of the first random value and the second random value, wherein the signature is resistant to the SCA attack.
