We propose several new methods to protect the scalar multiplication on an elliptic curve against Differential Analysis. The basic idea consists in transforming the curve through various random morphisms to provide a non-deterministic execution of the algorithm. The solutions we suggest complement and improve the state-of-the-art, but also provide a practical toolbox of efficient countermeasures. These should suit most of the needs for protecting implementations of cryptoalgorithms based on elliptic curves.
