Abstract : The authenticated encryption (AE) scheme ACORN v3, a CAESAR competition finalist, has been shown to be particularly vulnerable against Differential Fault Attack (DFA), even more so than its previous version ACORN v2. In this paper, we analyse how fault attacks can be prevented in ACORN v3 by using cellular automata (CA). The good pseudorandom properties of CA are exploited and renders the ACORN v3 infeasible to perform fault attacks on. The Programmable Cellular Automata (PCA) 90-150 is effectively deployed to make ACORN cipher robust against DFA.
