Usuba, Optimizing Bitslicing Compiler

Bitslicing is a technique commonly used in cryptography to implement high-throughput parallel and constant-time symmetric primitives. However, writing, optimizing and protecting bitsliced implementations by hand are tedious tasks, requiring knowledge of cryptography, CPU microarchitectures and side-channel attacks. The resulting programs tend to be hard to maintain due to their high complexity. To overcome those issues, we propose Usuba, a high-level domain-specific language to write symmetric cryptographic primitives. Usuba allows developers to write high-level specifications of ciphers without worrying about the actual parallelization: an Usuba program is a scalar description of a cipher, from which the Usuba compiler (Usubac) automatically produce vectorized bitsliced code.
When targeting high-end Intel CPUs, the Usubac applies several domain-specific optimizations, such as interleaving and custom instruction-scheduling algorithms. We are thus able to match the throughput of hand-tuned assembly and C implementations of several widely used ciphers.
Furthermore, in order to protect cryptographic implementations on embedded devices against side-channel attacks, we extend our compiler in two ways. First, we integrate into Usubac state-of-the-art techniques in higher order masking to generate implementations that are provably secure against power-analysis attacks. Second, we implement a backend for SKIVA, a custom 32-bit CPU enabling the combination of countermeasures against power-based and timing-based leakage, as well as fault injection.
