Internet of Things(IoT) technologies should be able to communication with various embedded platforms. We will need to select an appropriate cryptographic algorithm in various embedded environments because we should consider security elements in IoT communications. Therefore the lightweight block cryptographic algorithm is essential for secure communication between these kinds of embedded platforms. However, the lightweight block cryptographic algorithm has a vulnerability which can be leaked in side channel analysis. Thus we also have to consider side channel countermeasure. In this paper, we will propose the scenario of side channel analysis and confirm the vulnerability for HIGHT algorithm which is composed of ARX structure. Additionally, we will suggest countermeasure for HIGHT against side channel analysis. Finally, we will explain how much the effectiveness can be provided through comparison between countermeasure for AES and HIGHT.

This paper describes a design of cryptographic processor that implements the Rijndael cipher algorithm, the Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm. It can execute both encryption and decryption, and supports only 128-bit block and 128-bit keys. As the processor is implemented only one round, it must iterate 11 times to perform an encryption/decryption. We implemented the ByteSub and InvByteSub transformation using the algorithm for minimizing the increase of area which is caused by different encryption and decryption. It could reduce the memory size by half than implementing, with only ROM. We estimate that the cryptographic processor consists of about 15,000 gates, 32K-bit ROM and 1408-bit RAM, and has a throughput of 1.28 Gbps at 110 MHz clock based on Samsung 0.5um CMOS standard cell library. To our knowledge, this offers more reduced memory size compared to previously reported implementations with the same performance.

Quantum algorithms and quantum computers can break the security of many of the ciphers we currently use. If Grover's algorithm is applied to a symmetric key cipher with n-bit security level, the security level can be lowered to (n/2)-bit. In order to apply Grover's algorithm, it is most important to optimize the target cipher as a quantum circuit because the symmetric key cipher must be implemented as a quantum circuit in the oracle function. Accordingly, researches on implementing AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) or lightweight block ciphers as quantum circuits have been actively conducted in recent years. In this paper, korean lightweight block cipher LEA was optimized and implemented as a quantum circuit. Compared to the previous LEA quantum circuit implementation, quantum gates were used more, but qubits were drastically reduced, and performance evaluation was performed for this tradeoff problem. Finally, we evaluated quantum resources for applying Grover's algorithm to the proposed LEA implementation.

Traditional block cipher Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is widely used in the field of network security, but it has high overhead on each operation. In the 15th international workshop on information security applications, a novel lightweight and low-power encryption algorithm named low-power encryption algorithm (LEA) was released. This algorithm has certain useful features for hardware and software implementations, that is, simple addition, rotation, exclusive-or (ARX) operations, non-Substitute-BOX architecture, and 32-bit word size. In this study, we further improve the LEA encryptions for cloud computing. The Web-based implementations include JavaScript and assembly codes. Unlike normal implementation, JavaScript does not support unsigned integer and rotation operations; therefore, we present several techniques for resolving this issue. Furthermore, the proposed method yields a speed-optimized result and shows high performance enhancements. Each implementation is tested using various Web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox, and on various devices including personal computers and mobile devices. These results extend the use of LEA encryption to any circumstance.

Ransomware uses symmetric-key algorithm such as a block cipher to encrypt users' files illegally. If we find the traces of a block cipher algorithm in a certain program in advance, the ransomware will be detected in increased rate. The inclusion of a block cipher can consider the encryption function will be enabled potentially. This paper proposes a way to determine whether a particular program contains a block cipher. We have studied the implementation characteristics of various block ciphers, as well as the AES used by ransomware. Based on those characteristics, we are able to find what kind of block ciphers have been contained in a particular program. The methods proposed in this paper will be able to detect ransomware with high probability by complementing the previous detection methods.

Due to the growth of social network systems (SNS), big data are realized and Hadoop was developed as a distributed platform for analyzing big data. Enterprises analyze data containing users' sensitive information by using Hadoop and utilize them for marketing. Therefore, researches on data encryption have been done to protect the leakage of sensitive data stored in Hadoop. However, the existing researches support only the AES encryption algorithm, the international standard of data encryption. Meanwhile, Korean government choose ARIA algorithm as a standard data encryption one. In this paper, we propose a HDFS data encryption scheme using ARIA algorithms on Hadoop. First, the proposed scheme provide a HDFS block splitting component which performs ARIA encryption and decryption under the distributed computing environment of Hadoop. Second, the proposed scheme also provide a variable-length data processing component which performs encryption and decryption by adding dummy data, in case when the last block of data does not contains 128 bit data. Finally, we show from performance analysis that our proposed scheme can be effectively used for both text string processing applications and science data analysis applications.

This paper is about a physical layer frame security technique using OFB-style encryption/decryption with AES algorithms on Gigabit Ethernet network. We propose a data security technique at the physical layer that performs OFB-style encryption/decryption with AES algorithm with strong security strength when sending and receiving data over Gigabit Ethernet network. Generally, when operating Gigabit Ethernet network, there is no security features, but data security is required, additional devices that apply this technique can be installed to perform security functions. In the case of data transmission over Gigabit Ethernet network, the Ethernet frames conform to IEEE 802.3 specification, which includes several fields to ensure proper reception of data at the receiving node in addition to the data field. When encrypting, only the data field should be encrypted and transmitted in real time. In this paper, we show that only the data field of the IEEE802.3 frame is encrypted and transmitted on the sending node, and only the data field is decrypted to show the plain text on the receiving node, which shows that the encryption/decryption is carried out correctly. Therefore, additional installation of devices that apply this technique can increase the reliability of the system when security for data is required in Ethernet network operating without security features.
