This paper describes a design of cryptographic processor that implements the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) block cipher algorithm, "Rijndael". An iterative looping architecture using a single round block is adopted to minimize the hardware required. To achieve high throughput rate, a sub-pipeline stage is added by dividing the round function into two blocks, resulting that the second half of current round function and the first half of next round function are being simultaneously operated. The round block is implemented using 32-bit data path, so each sub-pipeline stage is executed for four clock cycles. The S-box, which is the dominant element of the round block in terms of required hardware resources, is designed using arithmetic circuit computing multiplicative inverse in GF($2^8$) rather than look-up table method, so that encryption and decryption can share the S-boxes. The round keys are generated by on-the-fly key scheduler. The crypto-processor designed in Verilog-HDL and synthesized using 0.25-$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS cell library consists of about 23,000 gates. Simulation results show that the critical path delay is about 8-ns and it can operate up to 120-MHz clock Sequency at 2.5-V supply. The designed core was verified using Xilinx FPGA board and test system.

Conventional researches of standard tool validating cryptographic algorithm have been studied for the internet environment, for the mobile internet. It is important to develop the validation tool for establishment of interoperability and convenience of users in the information systems. Therefore, this paper presents the validation tool of Elliptic Curve Cryptography algorithm that can test if following X9.62 technology standard specification. The validation tool can be applied all information securities using DES, SEED, AES, SHA-1/256/384/512, RSA-OAEP V2.0, V2.1, ECDSA, ECKCDSA, ECDH, etc. Moreover, we can enhance the precision of validation through several experiments and perform the validation tool in the online environment.

In this paper, a study has been performed on the design of small loop probe and analysis of induced electromagnetic wave signal from a smartcard for contactless cryptographic analysis. Probes for cryptographic analysis are different from conventional EM probes, because the purpose of proposed probe is to obtain the information for secret key analysis of cryptographic system. The waveform of induced voltage on probe must be very close to radiated waveform from IC chip on smartcard because electromagnetic attack makes an attempt to analyze the radiated waveform from smartcard. In order to obtain secret key information, we need to study about cryptographic analysis using electromagnetic waves, an approximate model of source, characteristic of probe for cryptographic analysis, measurement of electromagnetic waves and calibration of probes. We measured power consumption signal on a smartcard chip and electromagnetic wave signal using proposed probe and compared with two signals of EMA point of view. We verified experimently the suitability of the proposed small loop probe for contactless cryptographic analysis by applying ARIA algorithm.

This paper describes a design of area-efficient/low-power cryptographic processor for lightweight block cipher algorithm HIGHT which was approved as a cryptographic standard by KATS and ISO/IEC. The HIGHT algorithm which is suitable for the security of IoT(Internet of Things), encrypts a 64-bit plain text with a 128-bit cipher key to make a 64-bit cipher text, and vice versa. For area-efficient and low-power implementation, we adopt 32-bit data path and optimize round transform block and key scheduler to share hardware resources for encryption and decryption.

Power analysis attacks are techniques to analyze power signals to find out the secrets when cryptographic algorithm is performed. One of the most famous countermeasure against power analysis attacks is masking methods. Masking types are largely classified into two types which are boolean masking and arithmetic masking. For the cryptographic algorithm to be used with boolean and arithmetic masking at the same time, the converting algorithm can switch between boolean and arithmetic masking. In this paper we propose an algorithm for switching from boolean to arithmetic masking using storage size at less cost than ones. The proposed algorithm is configured to convert using the look-up table without the least significant bit(LSB), because of equal the bit of boolean and arithmetic masking. This makes it possible to design a converting algorithm compared to the previous algorithm at a lower cost without sacrificing performance. In addition, by applying the technique at the LEA it showed up to 26 percent performance improvement over existing techniques.

Due to the IT development, RFID/USN became very familiar means of communication. However, because of increased number, security, and size constraints of nodes, it is insufficient to implement a variety of services. To solve these problems, this paper suggests RI-RSA, which is an appropriate asymmetric cryptographic system for RFID/USN environment. The proposed RI-RSA cryptographic system is easy to implement. To increase the processing speed, RI-RSA was suggested by subdividing the multiplication section into two-dimensional, where bottleneck phenomena occurs, and it was implemented in the hardware chip level. The simulation result verified that it caused 6% of circuit reduction, and for the processing speed, RI-RSA was 30% faster compare to the existing RSA.

Recently, The interest about underwater acoustic communication is increase such as marine resources, disaster prevention, weather prediction, and so on. Because the underwater acoustic communication uses a water as media, the underwater acoustic communication has a lot of restrictions. Although the underwater acoustic communication is hard, it is important to consider the security. In this paper, we estimate the performance of cryptographic algorithms(AES, ARIA, and LEA) on a various devices, available in underwater acoustic communication, and analysis the results. This result will be provide effective data confidentiality for underwater communication.

In this paper, we implement Microsoft COM software modules for elliptic curve cryptographic applications and analyze its performance. The implemented COM software modules support all elliptic curve key exchange protocols and elliptic curve digital signature algorithm in IEEE 1363 finite fields GF(p) and GF(2m). Since the implemented software modules intend to focus on a component-based software development method, and thus it have a higher productivity and take systematic characteristics to be open outward and to be standardized. Accordingly, it enable a software to be developed easier and faster rather than a method using C library. In addition it support the Microsoft COM interface, we can easily implement secure software applications based on elliptic curve cryptographic algorithms.
