Abstract

The protected method of cryptographic computation includes N computation rounds successively performed to produce an output data from an input data and a private key. The method also includes a first masking stage to mask the input data, so that each intermediate data used or produced by a computation round is masked, and a second masking stage to mask data manipulated inside each computation round.
