Cryptography implementation over lightweight Internet of Things (IoT) device needs to provide an accurate and fast execution for high service availability. However, adversaries can extract the secret information from the lightweight device by analyzing the unique features of computation in the device. In particular, modern ARM Cortex-M3 processors perform the multiplication in different execution timings when the input values are varied. In this paper, we analyze previous multiplication methods over ARM Cortex-M3 and provide optimized techniques to accelerate the performance. The proposed method successfully accelerates the performance by up-to 28.4% than previous works.

Lightweight Encryption Algorithm (LEA) is one of the most promising lightweight block cipher algorithm due to its high efficiency and security level. There are many works on the efficient LEA implementation. However, many works missed the secure application services where the IoT platforms perform secure communications between heterogeneous IoT platforms. In order to establish the secure communication channel between them, the encryption should be performed in the on-the-fly method. In this paper, we present the LEA implementation performing the on-the-fly method over the ARM Cortex-M3 processors. The general purpose registers are fully utilized to retain the required variables for the key scheduling and encryption operations and the rotation operation is optimized away by using the barrel-shifter technique. Since the on-the-fly method does not store the round keys, the RAM requirements are minimized. The implementation is evaluated over the ARM Cortex-M3 processor and it only requires 34 cycles/byte.

Secure authentication technology is a fundamental building block for secure services for Internet of Things devices. Particularly, the multiplication operation is a core operation of public key cryptography, such as RSA, ECC, and SIDH. However, modern low-power processor, namely ARM Cortex-M3 processor, is not secure enough for practical usages, since it executes the multiplication operation in variable-time depending on the input length. When the execution is performed in variable-time, the attacker can extract the password from the measured timing. In order to resolve this issue, recent work presented constant-time solution for multiplication operation. However, the implementation still missed various speed-optimization techniques. In this paper, we analyze previous multiplication methods over ARM Cortex-M3 and provide optimized implementations to accelerate the speed-performance further. The proposed method successfully accelerates the execution-time by up-to 25.7% than previous works.

In this study, Real-Time Operating System(RTOS) and 3-D collision avoidance algorithm are implemented to three different Miciro Controller Unit(MCU)s and their performances compared. We selected Microchip Technology's ATmega2560, STM's ARM Cortex-M3 and ARM Cortex-M4, because they are widely used. FreeRTOS, an open-source operating system, was also used. The 3D collision avoidance algorithm consists of the vertical and the horizontal avoidance algorithm, which is implemented using C++. The performances of the MCUs were compared with respect to used memory and calculation time. As a result, Cortex-M4's calculation time was the fastest and ATmega2560 used least memory.

임베디드 마이크로프로세서인 ARM Cortex-M3는 기존의 것들과는 달리 짧은 문맥교환을 제공하기 위해 Trap을 이용하여 문맥교환 과정을 일부 하드웨어적으로 처리하는 기능을 제공한다. 일반적으로 Trap (혹은 소프트웨어 인터럽트)은 그 자신만의 오버헤드를 갖고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 소프트웨어적으로 문맥교환을 하던 방식에 비해 어느 정도의 성능 향상이 있을지에 대한 정량적인 비교 평가를 수행하여 Cortex-M3를 기반으로 한 임베디드 시스템의 설계에 도움을 주도록 한다.

This paper describes a hardware design of the Secure Hash Algorithm-3 (SHA-3) hash functions that are the latest version of the SHA family of standards released by NIST, and an implementation of ARM Cortex-M0 interface for security SoC applications. To achieve an optimized design, the tradeoff between hardware complexity and performance was analyzed for five hardware architectures, and the datapath of round block was determined to be 1600-bit on the basis of the analysis results. In addition, the padder with a 64-bit interface to round block was implemented in hardware. A SoC prototype that integrates the SHA-3 hash processor, Cortex-M0 and AHB interface was implemented in Cyclone-V FPGA device, and the hardware/software co-verification was carried out. The SHA-3 hash processor uses 1,672 slices of Virtex-5 FPGA and has an estimated maximum clock frequency of 289 Mhz, achieving a throughput of 5.04 Gbps.

The use of digital systems in radiation science has been increased last years in the different knowledge areas, as a detectors, spectrometry, spectroscopy, simulation, etc. This manuscript presents the design and implementation of a low-cost, fully portable multi-channel analyzer for nuclear spectrometry (in situ). The development is based on a 32-bit microcontroller with ARM Cortex-M7, this design is able to digitize and analyze pulses from a radiation detector without the need to transform the input signal with some filter, obtains the maximum height of each of the digitized pulses, segmenting the information into channels to form a histogram and visualizing the LCD screen incorporated in the system. A continuous digitization methodology was used, which is in charge of the DMA and an ADC with a resolution of 12 bits at a speed of 3.6 MSPS. The system has a compact design and can open and save spectra in an SD memory built into the system. The MCA in MCU was tested with a NaI(Tl) Scintillation radiation detector, which allowed us to determine that the spectra obtained are similar compared to commercial MCA's. The results obtained show that the MCA in MCU is efficient for nuclear spectrometry, in addition to being very economical and low power consumption.
