Abstract

HMAC algorithm is one of the most famous keyed hash functions, and widely utilized. And SM3 is the only standard hash algorithm of China. However, most cryptographic algorithms implementations are vulnerable against side channel attacks. But specific side channel attacks on HMAC-SM3 have not been given so far. This paper presents a first-order DPA attack on HMAC-SM3. HMAC-SM3 hash algorithm is based on the mixing of different algebraic operations, such as XOR and addition modulo 232, thus the proposed DPA attack is mainly against these basic group operations. Experimental results are given by attacking an implementation of HMAC-SM3 in a smart card, which demonstrate the practicability of such attacks described in this paper.
