Popis: We discuss side-channel attacks on CRT-RSA encryption or signature scheme (the RSA scheme with the Chinese remainder theorem) implemented via the sliding window method. The sliding window method calculates exponentiations through repeated squaring and multiplication. These square-and-multiply sequences can be obtained by side-channel attacks, and there is the risk of recovering CRT-RSA secret keys from these sequences. Especially, in CHES 2017, it is proved that we can recover secret keys from the correct square-and-multiply sequences in polynomial time when the window size w is less than 4. However, there are errors in the obtained sequences. Oonishi and Kunihiro proposed a method for recovering secret keys from noisy sequences when \(w=1\). Although this work only addresses the case with \(w=1\), it should be possible to recover secret keys for larger values of w. In this paper, we propose a new method for recovering secret keys from noisy sequences in the sliding window method. Moreover, we clarify the amount of errors for which our method works.
