Classical cryptography with complex computations has recently been utilized in the latest computing systems to create secret keys. However, systems can be breached by fast-measuring methods of the secret key; this approach does not offer adequate protection when depending on the computational complexity alone. The laws of physics for communication purposes are used in quantum computing, enabling new computing concepts to be introduced, particularly in cryptography and key distribution. This paper proposes a quantum computing lattice (CQL) mechanism that applies the BB84 protocol to generate a quantum key. The generated key and a one-time pad encryption method are used to encrypt the message. Then Babai's algorithm is applied to the ciphertext to find the closet vector problem within the lattice. As a result, quantum computing concepts are used with classical encryption methods to find the closet vector problem in a lattice, providing strength encryption to generate the key. The proposed approach is demonstrated a high calculation speed when using quantum computing.

This paper describes an efficient hardware implementation of lightweight encryption algorithm LEA-128/192/256 which supports for three master key lengths of 128/192/256-bit. To achieve area-efficient and low-power implementation of LEA crypto- processor, the key scheduler block is optimized to share hardware resources for encryption/decryption key scheduling of three master key lengths. In addition, a parallel register structure and novel operating scheme for key scheduler is devised to reduce clock cycles required for key scheduling, which results in an increase of encryption/decryption speed by 20~30%. The designed LEA crypto-processor has been verified by FPGA implementation. The estimated performances according to master key lengths of 128/192/256-bit are 181/162/109 Mbps, respectively, at 113 MHz clock frequency.

Certificateless public key cryptography is a technique that can solve the certificate management problem of a public key cryptosystem and clear the key escrow issue of ID-based cryptography using the public key in user ID. Although the studies were actively in progress, many existing schemes have been designed without taking into account the safety of the secret value with the decryption key exposure attacks. If previous secret values and decryption keys are exposed after replacing public key, a valid private key can be calculated by obtaining the partial private key corresponding to user's ID. In this paper, we propose a new security model which ensures the security against the key exposure attacks and show that several certificateless public key encryption schemes are insecure in the proposed security model. In addition, we design a certificateless public key encryption scheme to be secure in the proposed security model and prove it based on the DBDH(Decisional Bilinear Diffie-Hellman) assumption.

Since data security problems are very important in the information age, cryptographic algorithms for encryption and decryption have been studied for a long time. The GOST(Gosudarstvennyi Standard or Government Standard) algorithm as a data encryption algorithm with a 256-bit key is a 64-bit block algorithm developed in the former Soviet Union. In this paper, we describe how to design an encryption chip based on the GOST algorithm. In addition, the GOST algorithm is compared with the DES(Data Encryption Standard) algorithm, which has been used as a conventional data encryption algorithm, in modeling techniques and their performance. The GOST algorithm whose key size is relatively longer than that of the DES algorithm has been expanded to get better performance, modeled in VHDL, and simulated for implementation with an CPLD chip.

Broadcast encryption schemes are applied to transmit digital informations of multimedia, software, Pay-TV etc. in public network. Important thing is that only user who is permitted before only must be able to get digital information in broadcast encryption schemes. If broadcast message transfers, users who authority is get digital information to use private key given in the advance by oneself. Thus, user acquires message or session key to use key that broadcaster transmits, broadcaster need process that generation and distribution key in these process. Also, user secession new when join efficient key renewal need. In this paper, introduce about efficient key generation and distribution, key renewal method. Take advantage of two technique of proposal system. One is method that server creates key forecasting user without user's agreement, and another is method that server and user agree each other and create key Advantage of two proposal system because uses a secret key broadcast message decryption do can and renewal is available effectively using one information whatever key renewal later.

We propose an encryption method using visual cryptography and virtual phase images. In the encryption process, the original image is shared by virtual images and the decryption key image. We multiply the virtual phase images with each complex image, which has the constant value of its sum after performing the phase modulation of the virtual images and the decryption key. The encryption cards are made by Fourier transforming the multiplied images. It is possible to protect information about the original image because the cards do not have any information from the original image. To reconstruct the original image, all the encryption cards are placed on each path of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and then the lights passing through them are summed. Since the summed image is inverse Fourier transformed by a Fourier lens, the phase image is multiplied with the decryption key and the output image is obtained in the form of intensity on the CCD plane. Computer simulations show a good performance of the pro-posed optical security system.

A new secret-key-sharing cryptosystem using optical phase-shifting digital holography is proposed. The proposed secret-key-sharing algorithm is based on the Diffie-Hellman key-exchange protocol, which is modified to an optical cipher system implemented by a two-step quadrature phase-shifting digital holographic encryption method using orthogonal polarization. Two unknown users' private keys are encrypted by two-step phase-shifting digital holography and are changed into three digital-hologram ciphers, which are stored by computer and are opened to a public communication network for secret-key-sharing. Two-step phase-shifting digital holograms are acquired by applying a phase step of 0 or ${\pi}/2$ in the reference beam's path. The encrypted digital hologram in the optical setup is a Fourier-transform hologram, and is recorded on CCDs with 256 quantized gray-level intensities. The digital hologram shows an analog-type noise-like randomized cipher with a two-dimensional array, which has a stronger security level than conventional electronic cryptography, due to the complexity of optical encryption, and protects against the possibility of a replay attack. Decryption with three encrypted digital holograms generates the same shared secret key for each user. Schematically, the proposed optical configuration has the advantage of producing a kind of double-key encryption, which can enhance security strength compared to the conventional Diffie-Hellman key-exchange protocol. Another advantage of the proposed secret-key-sharing cryptosystem is that it is free to change each user's private key in generating the public keys at any time. The proposed method is very effective cryptography when applied to a secret-key-exchange cryptosystem with high security strength.

A LEA (Lightweight Encryption Algorithm) crypto-processor was designed, which supports three master key lengths of 128/ 192/256-bit, ECB and CTR modes of operation. To achieve high throughput rate, the round transformation block was designed with 128 bits datapath and a pipelined structure of 16 stages. Encryption/decryption is carried out through 12/14/16 pipelined stages according to the master key length, and each pipelined stage performs round transformation twice. The key scheduler block was optimized to share hardware resources that are required for encryption, decryption, and three master key lengths. The round keys generated by key scheduler are stored in 32 round key registers, and are repeatedly used in round transformation until master key is updated. The pipelined LEA processor was verified by FPGA implementation, and the estimated performance is about 8.3 Gbps at the maximum clock frequency of 130 MHz.

Location sharing through apps is increasing, such as finding a friend's location or sharing delivery status on the Internet. However, location information is important personal information, and in some cases can be misused for crimes, and so encryption of location information is essential when developing such apps. This paper develops an app that encrypts and shares location information between friends for purposes such as finding friends and deciding meeting locations. To improve encryption performance, the symmetric key was encrypted and transmitted using an asymmetric key, and for location sharing, only the symmetric key was used to encrypt it. The proposed app was developed on iOS, and performance measurements showed that encryption of location information was at least 5,000 times faster when using a symmetric key than when using an asymmetric key.
