Aron Gohr proposed a cryptanalysis method based on deep learning technology for the lightweight block cipher Speck. This is a method that enables a chosen plaintext attack with higher accuracy than the classical differential cryptanalysis. In this paper, by using the probability distribution, we analyze the mechanism of such deep learning based cryptanalysis and propose the results applied to the lightweight block cipher Simon. In addition, we examine that the probability distributions of the predicted values of the neural networks within the cryptanalysis working processes are different depending upon the characteristics of round functions of Speck and Simon, and suggest a direction to improve the efficiency of the neural distinguisher which is the core technology of Aron Gohr's cryptanalysis.

This paper describes a lightweight implementation of a cryptographic processor supporting GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) authenticated encryption (AE) that is based on the two block cipher algorithms of ARIA and AES. It also provides five modes of operation (ECB, CBC, OFB, CFB, CTR) for confidentiality as well as the key lengths of 128-bit and 256-bit. The ARIA and AES are integrated into a single hardware structure, which is based on their algorithm characteristics, and a $128{\times}12-b$ partially parallel GF (Galois field) multiplier is adopted to efficiently perform concurrent processing of CTR encryption and GHASH operation to achieve overall performance optimization. The hardware operation of the ARIA/AES-GCM AE processor was verified by FPGA implementation, and it occupied 60,800 gate equivalents (GEs) with a 180 nm CMOS cell library. The estimated throughput with the maximum clock frequency of 95 MHz are 1,105 Mbps and 810 Mbps in AES mode, 935 Mbps and 715 Mbps in ARIA mode, and 138~184 Mbps in GCM AE mode according to the key length.

In this paper, a merged TEA block cipher processor which unifies Tiny Encryption Algorithm(TEA), extended Tiny Encryption Algorithm(XTEA) and corrected block TEA(XXTEA) is designed. After TEA cipher algorithm was first designed, XTEA and XXTEA cipher algorithms were designed to correct security weakness. Three types of cipher algorithm uses a 128-bit master key. The designed cipher processor can encrypt or decrypt 64-bit message block for TEA/XTEA and variable-length message blocks up to 256-bit for XXTEA. The maximum throughput for 64-bit message blocks is 137Mbps and that of 256-bit message blocks is 369Mbps. The merged TEA block cipher designed in this paper has a 16% gain on the area side compared to a lightweight LEA cipher. The cryptographic IP of this paper is applicable in security module of the mobile areas such as smart card, internet banking, and e-commerce.

최근 사물인터넷(IoT) 환경에서 다양한 장비의 인터넷 통신이 가능하여 이에 적절한 경량 블록 암호 알고리즘에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. ICISC 2020에서 새로 발표된 국산 경량 블록 암호 알고리즘인 PIPO는 새로운 경량 S-Box를 조합한 unbalanced-Bridge 구조로 효율적인 비트슬라이싱 구현을 제공한다. IoT 환경에 PIPO가 적용되기 위해서는 부채널 분석에 대한 안전성이 보장되어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 PIPO가 1차 CPA 공격에 취약함을 확인한다. 그리고 부채널 공격에 대응하기 위해 1차 마스킹 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 마스킹 기법은 1차 CPA 공격에 안전하였으며, 마스킹 적용 전보다 -375%의 성능을 보였다. 그리고 기존 기법보다 1287% 속도가 빨라진 것을 확인하였다.

Piccolo-128 is a 64-bit ultra-light block cipher suitable for the constrained environments such as wireless sensor network environments. In this paper, we propose biclique cryptanalysis on the full Piccolo-128. To recover the secret key of Piccolo-128, the proposed attack requires $2^{24}$ chosen plaintexts and the computational complexity of about $2^{127.35}$. This result is the first known theoretical attack result on the full Piccolo-128.

Ultra-lightweight password CHAM is an algorithm with efficient addition, rotation and XOR operations on resource constrained devices. CHAM shows high computational performance, especially on IoT platforms. However, lightweight block encryption algorithms used on the Internet of Things may be vulnerable to side channel analysis. In this paper, we demonstrate the vulnerability to side channel attack by attempting a first power analysis attack against CHAM. In addition, a safe algorithm was proposed and implemented by applying a masking technique to safely defend the attack. This implementation implements an efficient and secure CHAM block cipher using the instruction set of an 8-bit AVR processor.

IoT(Internet of Things) 기기를 대상으로 하는 보안 위협이 증가하면서 IoT 정보의 기밀성 유지가 중요한 과제로 떠오르고 있다. 따라서 경량, 저가, 저전력 IoT 환경에서 높은 보안 수준을 유지할 수 있는 암호화 방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서 AES(Advanced Encryption Standard)와 SAES(Simplified AES)를 이용한 이중 암호화 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 SAES 로 평문 메시지 전체를 블록 단위로 암호화하고, 각 암호문 블록의 일부 비트를 추출해 AES 로 재암호화한다. 실험 결과에 따르면, 제안한 경량 이중 암호화 기법이 종래 방식보다 암호문의 크기를 32% 줄일 수 있었다.

The related-key attack is regarded as one of the important cryptanalytic tools for the security evaluation of block ciphers. This is due to the fact that this attack can be effectively applied to schemes like block-cipher based hash functions whose block-cipher keys can be controlled as their messages. In this paper, we improve the related-key attack on lightweight block cipher PRINCE proposed in FSE 2013. Our improved related-key attack on PRINCE reduces data complexity from $2^{33}$ [4] to 2.
