This paper analyzes the source code of FIPS-OpenSSL cryptographic module approved as FIPS cryptographic module in USA and shows how the selftest requirements are implemented as software cryptographic library with respect to pre-operational test and conditional tests. Even though FIPS-OpenSSL follows FIPS 140-2 standard, lots of security requirements are similar between FIPS 140-2 and Korean cryptographic module validation standards. Therefore, analysis from this paper contributes to help Korean cryptographic module vendors develop correct and secure selftest functions on their own cryptographic modules, which results in reducing the test period.

One of the most widely-used open source project; OpenSSL is a cryptography library that is used to secure most web sites, servers and clients. One can secure the communication with the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols by using the OpenSSL library. Since cryptography protocols will be updated and enhanced in order to keep the system protected, the library was written in such a way that simplifies the integration of new cryptographic methods, especially for the symmetric cryptography protocols. However, it gets a lot more complicated in adding an asymmetric cryptography protocol and no guide can be found for the integration of the asymmetric cryptography protocol. In this paper, we explained the architecture of the OpenSSL library and provide a simple tutorial to modify the OpenSSL library in order to accommodate custom protocols of both symmetric and asymmetric cryptography.

Fuzzing is an automated software testing methodology that dynamically tests the security of software by inputting randomly generated input values outside of the expected range. KISA is releasing open source for standard cryptographic algorithms, and many crypto module developers are developing crypto modules using this source code. If there is a vulnerability in the open source code, the cryptographic library referring to it has a potential vulnerability, which may lead to a security accident that causes enormous losses in the future. Therefore, in this study, an appropriate security policy was established to verify the safety of block cipher source codes such as SEED, HIGHT, and ARIA, and the safety was verified using differential fuzzing. Finally, a total of 45 vulnerabilities were found in the memory bug items and error handling items, and a vulnerability improvement plan to solve them is proposed.

최근 세계 각 국에서는 암호 기술의 역기능을 방지하고 일반 사용자들 사이에 암호 사용을 활성화하기 위한 방안으로 암호키 관리 기반 구조(KMI)에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며 이를 구현한 시스템들도 개발되고 있다. 그러나 현재 여러 나라에서 이러한 키 복구 기술에 대한 연구와 함께 키 복구 시스템들이 개발되고 있는 것에 반해 국내에서는 아직까지 암호키 관리 기관 구조를 구축할 수 있는 실제 시스템들에 대한 연구 및 개발이 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 암호키 관리 기반 구조 구축에 기반이 될 수 있는 KMI 라이브러리를 구현하고 성능을 분석하였다.

HCCL stands for Heterogenous Container Class Library. HCCL is a library that allows heterogeneous types of data to be stored in a container as a single record and to be constructed as a list of the records to be stored in database. With HCCL, encryption/decryption can be done based on the unified data type. Recently, IoT sensor which is embedded in smartphone enables developers to provide various convenient services to users. However, it is also true that infringement of personal information may occur in the process of transmitting sensor information to API and users need to be prepared for this situation in some sense. In this study, we developed a data model that enhances existing security using SEED cryptographic algorithms while managing information of sensors based on HCCL. Due to the fact that the Android environment does not provide permission management function for sensors, this study decided whether or not to encrypt sensor information based on the user's choice so that the user can determine the creation and storage of safe data. For verification of this work, we have presented the performance evaluation by comparing with the situation of storing the sensor data in plaintext.

In this paper a design of high performance cryptographic processor which implements AES Rijndael algorithm is described. To eliminate performance degradation due to round-key computation delay of conventional processor, the on-the-fly precomputation of round key based on modified round structure is adopted. And on-the-fly round key generator which supports 128, 192, and 256-bit key has modular structure. The designed processor has iterative structure which uses 1 clock cycle per round and supports three operation modes, such as ECB, CBC, and CTR mode which is a candidate for new AES modes of operation. The cryptographic processor designed in Verilog-HDL and synthesized using 0.251$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS cell library consists of about 51,000 gates. Simulation results show that the critical path delay is about 7.5ns and it can operate up to 125Mhz clock frequency at 2.5V supply. Its peak performance is about 1.45Gbps encryption or decryption rate under 128-bit key ECB mode.

An integrated cryptographic processor that efficiently integrates ARIA, AES block ciphers and Whirlpool hash function into a single hardware architecture is described. Based on the algorithm characteristics of ARIA, AES, and Whirlpool, we optimized the design so that the hardware resources of the substitution layer and the diffusion layer were shared. The round block was designed to operate in a time-division manner for the round transformation and the round key expansion of the Whirlpool hash, resulting in a lightweight hardware implementation. The hardware operation of the integrated ARIA-AES-Whirlpool crypto-processor was verified by Virtex5 FPGA implementation, and it occupied 68,531 gate equivalents (GEs) with a 0.18um CMOS cell library. When operating at 80 MHz clock frequency, it was estimated that the throughputs of ARIA, AES block ciphers, and Whirlpool hash were 602~787 Mbps, 682~930 Mbps, and 512 Mbps, respectively.

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.

This paper describes a design of area-efficient/low-power cryptographic processor for HIGHT block cipher algorithm, which was approved as standard of cryptographic algorithm by KATS(Korean Agency for Technology and Standards) and ISO/IEC. The HIGHT algorithm, which is suitable for ubiquitous computing devices such as a sensor in USN or a RFID tag, encrypts a 64-bit data block with a 128-bit cipher key to make a 64-bit cipher text, and vice versa. For area-efficient and low-power implementation, we optimize round transform block and key scheduler to share hardware resources for encryption and decryption. The HIGHT64 core synthesized using a 0.35-${\mu}m$ CMOS cell library consists of 3,226 gates, and the estimated throughput is 150-Mbps with 80-MHz@2.5-V clock.
