Abstract: Scalar multiplication kP is a critical operation in Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems (ECC), often targeted by Side-Channel Analysis (SCA). Despite strategies based on atomic patterns to enhance security, the binary kP algorithms remain susceptible to simple SCA due to energy consumption variations in field multipliers during passing two different or two identical operands. This vulnerability arises independent of the multiplication method used. We implemented and analysed two mitigation techniques: one involving data redirection and another focusing on bus reloading.
