Physical attacks based on Side Channel Analysis (SCA) or on Fault Analysis (FA) target a secret usually manipulated by a public algorithm. SCA can also be used for Reverse Engineering (SCARE) against the software implementation of a private algorithm. In this paper, we claim that an unknown Feistel scheme with an hardware design can be recovered with a chosen plaintexts SCA attack. First, we show that whatever is the input of the unknown Feistel function, its one-round output can be guessed by SCA. Using this relation, two attacks for recovering the algorithm are proposed : an expensive interpolation attack on a generic Feistel scheme and an improved attack on a specific but commonly used scheme. Then, a countermeasure is proposed.
