| Description |
| In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider version 1.55 and earlier the primary
engine class used for AES was AESFastEngine. Due to the highly table
driven approach used in the algorithm it turns out that if the data
channel on the CPU can be monitored the lookup table accesses are
sufficient to leak information on the AES key being used. There was
also a leak in AESEngine although it was substantially less. AESEngine
has been modified to remove any signs of leakage (testing carried out
on Intel X86-64) and is now the primary AES class for the BC JCE
provider from 1.56. Use of AESFastEngine is now only recommended where
otherwise deemed appropriate.
