With the recent increase in spending growth in the IoT sector worldwide, the importance of lightweight block ciphers to encrypt them is also increasing. The lightweight block cipher PIPO algorithm proposed in ICISC 2020 is an SPN-structured cipher using an unbalanced bridge structure. The white box attack model refers to a state in which an attacker may know the intermediate value of the encryption operation. As a technique to cope with this, Chow et al. proposed a white box implementation technique and applied it to DES and AES in 2002. In this paper, we propose a white box PIPO applying a white box implementation to a lightweight block cipher PIPO algorithm. In the white box PIPO, the size of the table decreased by about 5.8 times and the calculation time decreased by about 17 times compared to the white box AES proposed by Chow and others. In addition, white box PIPO was used for mobile security products, and experimental results for each test case according to the scope of application are presented.

PIPO is the latest domestic lightweight block cipher announced in ICISC'20, which is characterized by being lightweight to facilitate implementation on IoT with limited resources. In this paper, PIPO 64/128-bit and 64/256-bit were implemented using web-based languages such as Javascript and WebAsembly. Two methods of performance evaluation were conducted by implementing bitsice and TLU, and the performance was compared by implementing Looped written using for statements and Unrolled written for statements. It performs performance evaluations in various web browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Microsoft Edge, as well as OS-specific environments such as Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, and Android. In addition, a performance comparison was performed with PIPO implemented in C language. This can be used as an indicator for applying PIPO block cipher on the web.

PIPO lightweight block ciphers were announced in ICISC'20. In this paper, a single-block optimization implementation and parallel optimization implementation of PIPO lightweight block cipher ECB, CBC, and CTR operation modes are performed on a 32-bit RISC-V processor. A single block implementation proposes an efficient 8-bit unit of Rlayer function implementation on a 32-bit register. In a parallel implementation, internal alignment of registers for parallel implementation is performed, and a method for four different blocks to perform Rlayer function operations on one register is described. In addition, since it is difficult to apply the parallel implementation technique to the encryption process in the parallel implementation of the CBC operation mode, it is proposed to apply the parallel implementation technique in the decryption process. In parallel implementation of the CTR operation mode, an extended initialization vector is used to propose a register internal alignment omission technique. This paper shows that the parallel implementation technique is applicable to several block cipher operation modes. As a result, it is confirmed that the performance improvement is 1.7 times in a single-block implementation and 1.89 times in a parallel implementation compared to the performance of the existing research implementation that includes the key schedule process in the ECB operation mode.

In this paper, we search integral distinguishers of lightweight block cipher PIPO and propose a key recovery attack on 8-round PIPO-64/128 with the obtained 6-round distinguishers. The lightweight block cipher PIPO proposed in ICISC 2020 is designed to provide the efficient implementation of high-order masking for side-channel attack resistance. In the proposal, various attacks such as differential and linear cryptanalyses were applied to show the sufficient security strength. However, the designers leave integral attack to be conducted and only show that it is unlikely for PIPO to have integral distinguishers longer than 5-round PIPO without further analysis on Division Property. In this paper, we search integral distinguishers of PIPO using a MILP-aided Division Property search method. Our search can show that there exist 6-round integral distinguishers, which is different from what the designers insist. We also consider linear operation on input and output of distinguisher, respectively, and manage to obtain totally 136 6-round integral distinguishers. Finally, we present an 8-round PIPO-64/128 key recovery attack with time complexity 2^124.5849 and memory complexity of 2⁹³ with four 6-round integral distinguishers among the entire obtained distinguishers.

In this paper, we presents for the first time an implementation using T-table for PIPO-64/128, 256 which are lightweight block ciphers. While our proposed implementation requires 16 T-tables, we show that the two types of T-tables are circulant and obtain variants implementations that require a smaller number of T-tables. We then discuss trade-off between the number of required T-tables (code size) and throughput by evaluating the throughput of the variant implementations on an Intel Core i7-9700K processor. The throughput-optimized versions for PIPO-64/128, 256 provide better throughput than TLU(Table-Look-Up) reference implementation by factors of 3.11 and 2.76, respectively, and bit-slice reference implementation by factors of 3.11 and 2.76, respectively.

With the spread of the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and big data, the need for high-speed encryption for applications is emerging. GPU optimization can be used to validate cryptographic analysis results or reduced versions theoretically obtained by the GPU in a reasonable time. In this paper, PIPO lightweight encryption implemented in various environments was implemented on GPU. Optimally implemented considering the brute force attack on PIPO. In particular, the optimization implementation applying the bit slicing technique and the GPU elements were used as much as possible. As a result, the implementation of the proposed method showed a throughput of about 19.5 billion per second in the RTX 3060 environment, achieving a throughput of about 122 times higher than that of the previous study.

The lightweight block cipher PIPO announced at ICISC'20 has been effectively implemented by applying the bit slice technique. In this paper, we propose a parallel optimal implementation of PIPO for ARM processors. The proposed implementation enables parallel encryption of 8-plaintexts and 16-plaintexts. The implementation targets the A10x fusion processor. On the target processor, the existing reference PIPO code has performance of 34.6 cpb and 44.7 cpb in 64/128 and 64/256 standards. Among the proposed methods, the general implementation has a performance of 12.0 cpb and 15.6 cpb in the 8-plaintexts 64/128 and 64/256 standards, and 6.3 cpb and 8.1 cpb in the 16-plaintexts 64/128 and 64/256 standards. Compared to the existing reference code implementation, the 8-plaintexts parallel implementation for each standard has about 65.3%, 66.4%, and the 16-plaintexts parallel implementation, about 81.8%, and 82.1% better performance. The register minimum alignment implementation shows performance of 8.2 cpb and 10.2 cpb in the 8-plaintexts 64/128 and 64/256 specifications, and 3.9 cpb and 4.8 cpb in the 16-plaintexts 64/128 and 64/256 specifications. Compared to the existing reference code implementation, the 8-plaintexts parallel implementation has improved performance by about 76.3% and 77.2%, and the 16-plaintext parallel implementation is about 88.7% and 89.3% higher for each standard.
