Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a method and a system to support execution of the method to perform a cryptographic operation involving a first vector and a second vector, by projectively scaling the first vector, performing a first operation involving the scaled first vector and the second vector to obtain a third vector, generating a random number, storing the third vector in a first location, responsive to the random number having a first value, or in a second location, responsive to the random number having a second value, and performing a second operation involving a first input and a second input, wherein, based on the random number having the first value or the second value, the first input is the third vector stored in the first location or the second location and the second input is a fourth vector stored in the second location or the first location.
