H.264/AVC is a video coding standard of ITU-T and ISO/IEC, and widely spreads its application due to its high compression ratio more than twice that of MPEG-2 and high image quality. In this paper, we explained Intra Prediction in H.264/AVC, which is able to achieve higher compressing efficiency from correlation removal of adjacent samples in spatial domain, and proposed efficient Intra Predictor architecture design for H.264/AVC decoder. The proposed system reduced computation cycle using processing element and precomputation processing element and also reduced the number of access to external memory using efficient register. We designed the proposed system with Verilog-HDL and verified with suitable test vector. The proposed Intra Predictor achieved about 60% cycle reduction comparing with existing Intra Predictors.

This paper proposes a digitally controlled buck converter insensitive to process, voltage and temperature and capable of three modes of operation depending on the state of the output voltage. Conventional digital-controlled buck converters utilized A/D converters, counters and delay line circuits for accurate output voltage control, resulting in increasing the number of counter and delay line bits. This problem can be resolved by employing the 8-bit and 16-bit bidirectional shift registers, and this design technique leads a buck converter to be able to control duty ratio up to 128-bit resolution. The proposed buck converter was designed and fabricated with a CMOS 180 nano-meter 1-poly 6-metal process, generating an output voltage of 0.9 to 1.8V with the input voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V, a ripple voltage of 30mV, and a power efficiency of up to 92.3%. The transient response speed of the proposed circuit was measured to be 4us.

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 efficiency of pairing based cryptosystems depends on the computation of pairings. pairings is defined over finite fileds GF$(3^m)$ by trinomials due to efficiency. The hardware architectures for pairings have been widely studied. This paper proposes new adder and multiplier for GF(3) which are more efficient than previous results. Furthermore, this paper proposes a new unified adder-subtractor for GF$(3^m)$ based on the proposed adder and multiplier. Finally, this paper proposes new multiplier for GF$(3^m)$. The proposed MSB-first bit-serial multiplier for GF$(p^m)$ reduces the time delay by approximately 30 % and the size of register by half than previous LSB-first multipliers. The proposed multiplier can be applied to all finite fields defined by trinomials.

In this paper we demonstrate a cryptanalysis of the stream cipher LILI-128. Our approach to analysis on LILI-128 is to solve an overdefined system of multivariate equations. The LILI-128 keystream generato $r^{[8]}$ is a LFSR-based synchronous stream cipher with 128 bit key. This cipher consists of two parts, “CLOCK CONTROL”, pan and “DATA GENERATION”, part. We focus on the “DATA GENERATION”part. This part uses the function $f_d$. that satisfies the third order of correlation immunity, high nonlinearity and balancedness. But, this function does not have highly nonlinear order(i.e. high degree in its algebraic normal form). We use this property of the function $f_d$. We reduced the problem of recovering the secret key of LILI-128 to the problem of solving a largely overdefined system of multivariate equations of degree K=6. In our best version of the XL-based cryptanalysis we have the parameter D=7. Our fastest cryptanalysis of LILI-128 requires $2^{110.7}$ CPU clocks. This complexity can be achieved using only $2^{26.3}$ keystream bits.

A differential fault attack(DFA) is one of the most efficient side channel attacks on block ciphers. Almost all block ciphers, such as DES, AES, ARIA, SEED and so on., have been analysed by this attack. In the case of the known DFAs on SEED, the attacker induces permanent faults on a whole left register of round 16. In this paper, we analyse SEED against DFA with differential characteristics and addition-XOR characteristics of the round function of SEED. The fault assumption of our attack is that the attacker induces 1-bit faults on a particular register. By using our attack, we can recover last round keys and the master key with about $2^{32}$ simple arithmetic operations. It can be simulated on general PC within about a couple of second.

The Block cipher CHAM is lightweight block cipher for low-end processors, developed by National Security Research Institute from Korea. The mode of operation is necessity for efficient operation of block cipher, among them, the counter (CTR) mode has good efficiency because it is easy to implement and supporting parallel operation. In this paper, we propose the optimized implementation for block cipher CHAM-CTR. The proposed implementation can be skipped some rounds by pre-computation. Thus it has better calculating speed than existing CHAM. Also, this implementation pre-load some of round keys to registers, before entering round functions. It makes reduced 160cycles loading time for round key load. Finally, proposed implementation achieved higher performance about 6.8%, and 4.5% for fixed-key scenario, and variable-key scenario, respectively.

Recently, static analysis-based signature and pattern detection technologies have limitations due to the advanced IT technologies. Moreover, It is a compatibility problem of multiple architectures and an inherent problem of signature and pattern detection. Malicious codes use obfuscation and packing techniques to hide their identity, and they also avoid existing static analysis-based signature and pattern detection techniques such as code rearrangement, register modification, and branching statement addition. In this paper, We propose an LLVM IR image-based automated static analysis of malicious code technology using machine learning to solve the problems mentioned above. Whether binary is obfuscated or packed, it's decompiled into LLVM IR, which is an intermediate representation dedicated to static analysis and optimization. "Therefore, the LLVM IR code is converted into an image before being fed to the CNN-based transfer learning algorithm ResNet50v2 supported by Keras". As a result, we present a model for image-based detection of malicious code.
