The need for a secured data transfer through the internet is most needed in today’s life. From Online Banking & Reservation software, Electronic Mails, Social Networking Sites to Governmental informative websites & cloud services, security is the main concern throughout. Quite accordingly, availability of a secure cryptographic algorithm commercially is also of premium importance. The project basically deals with analyzing the performances of two commonly used cryptographic algorithms and determining their resilience against Side Channel cryptanalysis, ascertaining whether a Side Channel cryptanalytic method on these algorithms is possible and finally, strengthening the algorithms against future cryptanalytic attacks. We took the famous asymmetric RSA algorithm for our initial analysis, followed by the symmetric IDEA cryptographic algorithm. The basic objectives were as follows: Monitoring and analyzing the performances of the specified algorithms in normal cases and when subjected to Side Channel cryptanalytic attacks, Devising and implementing a method for a Side Channel cryptanalytic attack on the above cryptographic algorithms, Using principles of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) to implement a method for strengthening the above cryptographic algorithms against possible Side Channel cryptanalytic attacks, wherein the inputs for the specified cryptographic algorithms was taken from an elliptic curve defined over a prime field.
