  • Abstract
    DSA is one of the most widely used digital signature scheme. Based on previous work, this paper introduced the principle of Instruction-Cache timing attack and presented some key techniques in Instruction-Cache monitoring and high precision timing. Then an attack on DSA was presented, and an algorithm for recovering nonce was proposed. In the end, an attack experiment was launched. The results demonstrated that the attack is realistic, feasible and effective.
