While the elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC) is getting more popular in securing numerous systems, implementations without consideration for side-channel attacks are susceptible to critical information leakage. This paper proposes new power attack countermeasures for ECC over Koblitz curves. Based on some special properties of Koblitz curves, the proposed methods randomize the involved elliptic curve points in a highly regular manner so the resulting scalar multiplication algorithms can defeat the simple power analysis attack and the differential power analysis attack simultaneously. Compared with the previous countermeasures, the new methods are also noticeable in terms of computational cost.

When implementing a hardware elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC) module, the efficient design of Modular Inverse (MI) algorithm is especially important since it requires much more computation than other finite field operations in ECC. Among the MI algorithms, binary Right-Shift modular inverse (RS) algorithm has good performance when implemented in hardware, but Montgomery Modular Inverse (MMI) algorithm is not considered in [1, 2]. Since MMI has a similar structure to that of RS, we show that the area-improvement idea that is applied to RS is applicable to MMI, and that we can improve the speed of MMI. We designed area- and speed-improved MMI variants as hardware modules and analyzed their performance.

타원곡선 암호법(ECC)은 RSA나 ElGamal 암호법에 비하여 1/6정도의 열쇠(key) 크기로 동일한 안전도를 보장하므로, 메모리 용량이나 프로세서의 파워가 제한된 휴대전화기(cellular phone), 스마트카드, HPC(small-size computers) 등에 더욱 효과적인 암호법이다. 본 논문에서는 효과적인 타원곡선 암호법에 많이 사용되는 유한체위에서의 연산방법을 설명하고, Weil의 강하공격법(descent attack)에 안전하면서, 연산속도를 최대화하는 유한체의 합성체를 구축하여, 그 합성체위에서의 고속 연산기를 제안하려고 한다.

The ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptogrphics), one of the representative Public Key encryption algorithms, is used in Digital Signature, Encryption, Decryption and Key exchange etc. The key operation of an Elliptic curve cryptosystem is a scalar multiplication, hence the design of a scalar multiplier is the core of this paper. Although an Integer operation is computed in infinite field, the scalar multiplication is computed in finite field through adding points on Elliptic curve. In this paper, we implemented scalar multiplier in Elliptic curve based on the finite field GF($2^{163}$). And we verified it on the Embedded digital system using Xilinx FPGA connected to an EISC MCU. If my design is made as a chip, the performance of scalar multiplier applied to Samsung $0.35 {\mu}m$ Phantom Cell Library is expected to process at the rate of 8kbps and satisfy to make up an encryption processor for the Embedded digital doorphone.

Certificateless public key cryptography (CL-PKC) is a new benchmark in modern cryptography. It not only simplifies the certificate management problem of PKC, but also avoids the key escrow problem of the identity based cryptosystem (ID-PKC). In this article, we propose a certificateless blind signature protocol which is based on elliptic curve cryptography (CLB-ECC). The scheme is suitable for the wireless communication environment because of smaller parameter size. The proposed scheme is proven to be secure against attacks by two different kinds of adversaries. CLB-ECC is efficient in terms of computation compared to the other existing conventional schemes. CLB-ECC can withstand forgery attack, key only attack, and known message attack. An e-cash framework, which is based on CLB-ECC, has also been proposed. As a result, the proposed CLB-ECC scheme seems to be more effective for applying to real life applications like e-shopping, e-voting, etc., in handheld devices.

타원곡선암호시스템(ECC)은 같은 보안강도일 때 상대적으로 작은 키 길이를 가지며, 암호시스템의 효율성은 기존의 공개키 암호시스템과 같이 유한체 연산에 의존한다. 타원곡선 암호시스템의 경우 주로 이진체 또는 소수체에서 고려되며 유한체 연산에서 모듈러 곱셈 연산이 효율성에 가장 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문은 NIST P256에서 효율적인 모듈러 감산 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법을 소프트웨어로 구현하면 결과 기존 대비 대략 25% 빨라진다.

성능과 하드웨어 복잡도 사이에 높은 확장성과 유연성을 갖는 확장 가능형 ECC 구조를 제안한다. 구조적 확장성을 위해 유한체 연산을 32 비트 워드 단위로 병렬 처리하는 처리요소의 1차원 배열을 기반으로 모듈러 연산회로를 구현하였으며, 사용되는 처리요소의 개수를 1~8개 범위에서 결정하여 회로를 합성할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 이를 위해 워드 기반 몽고메리 곱셈과 몽고메리 역원 연산의 확장 가능형 알고리듬을 적용하였다. 180-nm CMOS 공정으로 확장 가능형 ECC 프로세서 (sECCP)를 구현한 결과, N_PE=1인 경우에 100 kGE와 8.8 kbit의 RAM으로 구현되었고, N_PE=8인 경우에는 203 kGE와 12.8 kbit의 RAM으로 구현되었다. sECCP가 100 MHz 클록으로 동작하는 경우, N_PE=1인 경우와 N_PE=8인 경우의 P256R 타원곡선 상의 점 스칼라 곱셈을 각각 초당 110회, 610회 연산할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

As a countermeasure to simple power attack, the unified point addition codes for the elliptic curve cryptosystem were introduced. However, some authors proposed a different kind of power attacks to the codes. This power attack uses the observation that some internal operations in the codes behave differently for addition and doubling. In this paper, we propose a new countermeasure against such an attack. The basic idea of the new countermeasure is that, if one of the input points of the codes is transformed to an equivalent point over the underlying finite field, then the code will behave in the same manner for addition and doubling. The new countermeasure is highly efficient in that it only requires 27(n-1)/3 extra ordinary integer subtractions (in average) for the whole n-bit scalar multiplication. The timing analysis of the proposed countermeasure is also presented to confirm its SPA resistance.
