The randomized projective coordinate (RPC) method applied to a pairing computation algorithm is a good solution that provides an efficient countermeasure against side channel attacks. In this study, we investigate measures for increasing the efficiency of the RPC-based countermeasures and construct a method that provides an efficient RPC-based countermeasure against side channel attacks. We then apply our method to the well-known $\eta_T$ pairing algorithm over binary fields and obtain an RPC-based countermeasure for the $\eta_T$ pairing; our method is more efficient than the RPC method applied to the original $\eta_T$ pairing algorithm.

Differential Fault Analysis (DFA) is widely known for one of the most efficient method analyzing block cipher. In this paper, we propose a new type of DFA on DES (Data Encryption Standard). DFA on DES was first introduced by Biham and Shamir, then Rivain recently introduced DFA on DES middle rounds (9-12 round). However previous attacks on DES can only be applied to the encryption process. Meanwhile, we first propose the DFA on DES key-schedule. In this paper, we proposed a more efficient DFA on DES key schedule with random fault. The proposed DFA method retrieves the key using a more practical fault model and requires fewer faults than the previous DFA on DES.
