description Lightweight block ciphers have been widely used in applications such as RFID tags, IoTs, and network sensors. Among them, with comparable parameters, the Light Encryption Device (LED) block cipher achieves the smallest area. However, implementation of encryption algorithms manifest side-channel leakage, therefore, it is crucial to protect their design against side-channel analyses. In this paper, we present a threshold implementation of the LED cipher which has 64-bit data input and 128-bit key. The presented design splits secret information among multiple shares to achieve a higher security level. We demonstrate that our implementation can protect against first-order power side-channel attacks. As a cost, the design area is almost doubled and the maximum operating frequency is degraded by 30%. To make our design verifiable, we have also open-sourced our design online.
