Programmable logic arrays (PLAs) present an alternative to logic-gate based design. We propose the transistor level structure of a PLA for single-rail asynchronous applications. The geometrically regular layout together with the deployment of dynamic logic help us fine-tune the PLA to enhance its resistance to side-channel attacks, while parity prediction and checking is employed to protect against malicious fault injection. Finally, we demonstrate how our PLAs can be used as building blocks of large-scale systems with good security characteristics, when combined with special return-to-zero asynchronous latches.
