Abstract

Cryptographic technologies providing confidentiality and integrity such as encryption algorithms and message authentication codes (MACs) are necessary for preventing security threats in the Internet of Things (IoT) where various kinds of devices are interconnected. As a number of encryption schemes that have passed security verification are not necessarily suitable for low-power and low-performance IoT devices, various lightweight cryptographic schemes have been proposed. However, a study of lightweight MACs is not sufficient in comparison to that of lightweight block ciphers. Therefore, in this paper, we reviewed various kinds of MACs for their classification and analysis and then, we presented a new way for future MAC development. We also implemented major MAC algorithms and performed experiments to investigate their performance degradation on low-end micro-controllers.

다양한 기기들이 상호 연결되어 통신하는 IoT 환경에서는 보안 위협을 방지하기 위해 암호 알고리즘, 메시지 인증 코드 등 기밀성과 무결성을 제공하는 암호 기술을 사용한다. 안전성이 검증된 기존 암호 기술들이 다수 존재하지만, 저전력 저성능의 마이크로 컨트롤러 기반 IoT 기기에 기존 암호 기술을 그대로 사용하기 어렵기 때문에 다양한 경량 암호 기술이 등장하게 되었다. 최근 경량 블록 암호 알고리즘에 대한 연구는 꾸준히 증가하고 있지만, 경량 메시지 인증 코드에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 다양한 메시지 인증 코드에 대한 분류 분석을 통해 향후 메시지 인증 코드의 발전 방향에 대해 제시한다. 또한, 기반 기술별 대표 알고리즘을 실제 마이크로 컨트롤러에 구현 실험하여 저사양 환경에서의 알고리즘 성능 저하를 실증적으로 검증한다.
