Description

Generating the ECDSA nonce k samples a random number r and then


truncates this randomness with a modular reduction mod n where n is the


order of the elliptic curve. Meaning k = r mod n. The division used


during the reduction estimates a factor q_e by dividing the upper two


digits (a digit having e.g. a size of 8 byte) of r by the upper digit of


n and then decrements q_e in a loop until it has the correct size.


Observing the number of times q_e is decremented through a control-flow


revealing side-channel reveals a bias in the most significant bits of


k. Depending on the curve this is either a negligible bias or a


significant bias large enough to reconstruct k with lattice reduction


methods. For SECP160R1, e.g., we find a bias of 15 bits.
