Implementing a hardware cryptographic system is strongly required to assure high Qualify contents security. Not only because the many of the prevalent cryptographic algorithms require much computation time but also software implementations of cryptographic systems do not guarantee high performance, we need to design a hardware cryptographic system with a dedicated crypto-chip. This paper describes a case study of implementing a PCI cryptographic card which supports cryptographic algorithms such as 3DES, AES, SEED.

In this paper, we discuss a validation test for cryptographic algorithms. The cryptographic algorithms decide on the security and the confidence of a security system protecting sensitive information. So. the implementation of cryptographic algorithms is very critical of the system. The validation lest specifies the procedures involved in validating implementations of the cryptographic standards and provides conformance testing for components or procedures of the algorithm. We propose a SEED Validation System(SVS) to verify that the implementation correctly performs the SEED algorithm. The SVS is composed of two types of validation tests, the Known Answer test and the Monte Carlo test. The System generates the testing data for the Known Answer tests and the random data for the Monte Carlo tests. This system can be used to validate and certify the cryptographic product.

As various IoT devices appear recently, Cloud Services such as DropBox, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure Storage, etc are widely use for data sharing across the devices. Although, cryptographic algorithms like AES is prevalently used for data security, there is no mechanisms to allow selectively and flexibly use wider spectrum of lightweight cryptographic algorithms such as LEA, SEED, ARIA. With this, IoT devices with lower computation power and limited battery life will suffer from overly expensive workload and cryptographic operations are slower than what is enough. In this paper, we designed and implemented a CloudGate that allows client programs of those cloud services to flexibly select a cryptographic algorithms depending on the required security level. By selectively using LEA lightweight algorithms, we could achieve the cryptographic operations could be maximum 1.8 faster and more efficient than using AES.

The security of personal informations has been an important issue since the field of smart card applications has been expanded explosively. The security of smart card is based on cryptographic algorithms, which are highly required to be implemented into hardware for higher speed and stronger security. In this paper, a SEED cryptographic processor is designed by employing one round key generation block which generates 16 round keys without key registers and one round function block which is used iteratively. Both the round key generation block and the F function are using only one G function block with one 5${\times}$l MUX sequentially instead of 5 G function blocks. The proposed SEED processor has been implemented such that each round operation is divided into seven sub-rounds and each sub-round is executed per clock. Functional simulation of the proposed cryptographic processor has been executed using the test vectors which are offered by Korea Information Security Agency. In addition, we have evaluated the proposed SEED processor by executing VHDL synthesis and FPGA board test. The die area of the proposed SEED processor decreases up to approximately 40% compared with the conventional processor.

The performance of a cryptographic module is the most important thing to achieve a high performance VPN system which realizes information security by encrypting and decrypting all the communicating data packets. However the cryptographic operations require much computation power and software cryptographic systems reveal bad performance. Thus, it is strongly recommended to develop a VPN system employing hardware component. This paper introduces a case study of developing a PCI add-on card which supports several block cipher algorithms such as DES, 3DES, AES, and SEED. The performance of them was measured by embedding the card in a commercial VPN system.

In this paper, we investigate criteria for evaluating cryptographic strength based on randomness testing of the advanced encryption standard candidates, which have conducted by NIST(National Institute of Standards & Technology). It is difficult to prove that a given cryptographic algorithm meets sufficient conditions or requirements for provable security. The statistical testing of random number generators is one of methods to evaluate cryptographic strength and is based on statistical properties of random number generators. We apply randomness testing on several cryptographic algorithms that have not been tested by NIST and find criteria for evaluating cryptographic strength from the results of randomness testing. We investigate two criteria, one is the number of rejected samples and the other is the p-value from p-values of the samples.

White-box cryptography is an implementation technique in order to protect secret keys of cryptographic algorithms in the white-box attack model, which is the setting that an adversary has full access to the implementation of the cryptographic algorithm and full control over their execution. This concept was introduced in 2002 by Chow et al., and since then, there have been many proposals for secure implementations. While there have been many approaches to construct a secure white-box implementation for the ciphers with SPN structures, there was no notable result about the white-box implementation for the block ciphers with Feistel structure after white-box DES implementation was broken. In this paper, we propose a secure white-box implementation for a block cipher SEED with Feistel structure, which can prevent the previous known attacks for white-box implementations. Our proposal is simple and practical: it is performed by only 3,376 table lookups during each execution and the total size of tables is 762.5 KB.

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.

Dedicated Short Range Communications(DSRC) as a prominent communications candidate for Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS) have been developed to support ITS applications such as value-added information service, e-commerce, electronic toll payment, etc. These various applications associated with electronic payment through unsecure communication channel of DSRC suffer from security threats. To ensure secure payment, we have adopted appropriate cryptographic mechanisms including encipherment, authentication exchange and digital signature. The cryptographic mechanisms require to use cryptographic keys established between two communication entities. In this paper, we propose a secure electronic payment system which is designed to have some functions for strong authentication, encryption, key agreement, etc. Especially, we adopt domestic developed cryptographic algorithms such as EC-KCDSA and SEED for digital signature and block cipher, respectively. We can show those mechanisms are appropriate for the secure electronic payment system for ITS services under the DSRC wireless environment in aspects of constrained computational resource use and processing speed.

The encryption of packets increases delay and delay jitter that may degrade the quality of service (QoS) in real-time communications. So, we analyzed the delay jitter, delay, and interval delay between consecutive packets which were encrypted by the DES, 3DES, SEED and AES algorithms in this study. The interval delay and jitter of three algorithms such as the DES, SEED, AES were similar to the results of no encryption. But in the case of 3DES, the encryption of packets increases the variance of interval delay and jitter in comparison with other algorithms. we also analyzed properties of security and an efficiency of RTP security between SRTP and H.235.
