Efficient and Composable Masked AES S-Box Designs Using Optimized Inverters by Vedad Hadžic, Roderick Bloem

“…The masking of the AES S-Box is well studied, and most implementations use Canright’s F28 inverter design that decomposes operations in a larger field into a combination of multiplications, additions and inversions in a smaller field. While remarkable, Canright’s inverter design has a sub-optimal multiplicative depth, and can thus not take full advantage of recent developments in low-latency composable masking schemes. …”
