In this paper, we introduce an AES-based security chip for the embedded system of Internet of Things(IoT). We used Verilog HDL to implement the AES algorithm in FPGA. The designed AES module creates 128-bit cipher by encrypting 128-bit plain text and vice versa. RTL simulations are performed to verify the AES function and the theory is compared to the results. An FPGA emulation was also performed with 40 types of test sequences using two Altera DE0-Nano-SoC boards. To evaluate the performance of security algorithms, we compared them with AES implemented by software. The processing cycle per data unit of hardware implementation is 3.9 to 7.7 times faster than software implementation. However, there is a possibility that the processing speed grow slower due to the feature of the hardware design. This can be solved by using a pipelined scheme that divides the propagation delay time or by using an ASIC design method. In addition to the AES algorithm designed in this paper, various algorithms such as IPSec can be implemented in hardware. If hardware IP design is set in advance, future IoT applications will be able to improve security strength without time difficulties.

This paper describes a design of security system-on-chip (SoC) that integrates a Cortex-M0 CPU with an AAW (ARIA-AES- Whirlpool) crypto-core which implements two block cipher algorithms of ARIA and AES and a hash function Whirlpool into an unified hardware architecture. The AAW crypto-core was implemented in a small area through hardware sharing based on algorithmic characteristics of ARIA, AES and Whirlpool, and it supports key sizes of 128-bit and 256-bit. The designed security SoC was implemented on FPGA device and verified by hardware-software co-operation. The AAW crypto-core occupied 5,911 slices, and the AHB_Slave including the AAW crypto-core was implemented with 6,366 slices. The maximum clock frequency of the AHB_Slave was estimated at 36 MHz, the estimated throughputs of the ARIA-128 and the AES-128 was 83 Mbps and 78 Mbps respectively, and the throughput of the Whirlpool hash function of 512-bit block was 156 Mbps.

The paper proposes the design of AES-based encryption chip for IoT security. ROM based S-Box implementation occurs a number of memory space and some delay problems for its access. In this approach, S-Box is designed by pipeline structure on composite field GF((22)2) to get faster calculation results. In addition, in order to achieve both higher throughput and less delay, shared S-Box are used in each round transformation and the key scheduling process. The proposed AES crypto-processor is described in Veilog-HDL, and Xilinx ISE 14.7 tool is used for logic synthesis by using Xilinx XC6VLX75T FPGA. In order to perform the verification of the crypto-processor, the timing simulator(ModelSim 10.3) is also used.

In this paper, we design a combined security processor, ECC, MD-5, and AES, as a SIP for cryptography of securing contents. Each SIP is modeled and designed in VHDL and implemented as a reusable macro through logic synthesis, simulation and FPGA verification. To communicate with an ARM9 core, we design a BFM(Bus Functional Model) according to AMBA AHB specification. The combined security SIP for a platform-based SoC is implemented by integrating ECC, AES and MD-5 using the design kit including the ARM9 RISC core, one million-gate FPGA. Finally, it is fabricated into a MPW chip using Magna chip $0.25{\mu}m(4.7mm{\times}4.7mm$) CMOS technology.

Until now, Side Channel Attack has been known to be effective to crack decrypt key such as smart cards, electronic passports and e-ID card based on Chip. Combination of Masking and shuffling methods have been proposed practical countermeasure. Newly, S.Tillich suggests biased-mask using template attack(TA) to attack AES with masking and shuffling. However, an additional assumption that is acquired template information previously for masking value is necessary in order to apply this method. Moreover, this method needs to know exact time position of the target masking value for higher probability of success. In this paper, we suggest new practical method called Biasing Power Analysis(BPA) to find a secret key of AES based on masking-shuffling method. In BPA, we don't use time position and template information from masking value. Actually, we do experimental works of BPA attack to 128bit secret key of AES based on masking-shuffling method performed MSP430 Chip and we succeed in finding whole secret key. The results of this study will be utilized for next-generation ID cards to verify physical safety.

Our proposed secure scan design technique can be applied to crypto IF core which is optimized for applications without the IP core modification. The IEEE1149.1 standard is kept, and low area and power consumption overheads and high fault coverage can be achieved compared to the existing methods.

This paper describes a design of AES-based CCMP(Counter mode with CBC-MAC Protocol) core for IEEE 802.11i wireless LAN security. To maximize the performance of CCMP core, two AES cores are used, one is the counter mode for data confidentiality and the other is the CBC node for authentication and data integrity. The S-box that requires the largest hardware in ARS core is implemented using composite field arithmetic, and the gate count is reduced by about 27% compared with conventional LUT(Lookup Table)-based design. The CCMP core was verified using Excalibur SoC kit, and a MPW chip is fabricated using a 0.35-um CMOS standard cell technology. The test results show that all the function of the fabricated chip works correctly. The CCMP processor has 17,000 gates, and the estimated throughput is about 353-Mbps at 116-MHz@3.3V, satisfying 54-Mbps data rate of the IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g specifications.

정보 보안을 위한 암호화 처리는 각종 컴퓨터 시스템이나 통신시스템에서 부가적으로 수행되기 때문에암호화 속도가 느린 경우에는 시스템의 속도 지연을 유발시키게 된다. 따라서 고속의 컴퓨터 연산이나 고속통신에 있어서 이에 맞는 고속의 암호화는 필수적으로 해결되어야 할 과제인데, 이것은 암호화 및 복호화를 하드웨어로 처리함으로서 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 차세대 표준 암호화 알고리즘인 AES-128의 암호화와 복호화를 단일 ASIC칩에 구현하고, 인터페이스 핀의 수와 내부 모듈간의 버스 폭에 따른 칩의 효율성을 평가하였다. 이 연구에서 VHDL 설계 및 시뮬레이션은 Altera 사의 MaxPlus 29.64를 이용하였으며, ASIC 칩은 Altera 사의 FLEXIOK 계열의 칩을 사용하였다.
