The modern battlefield is being developed as a network-centric warfare where priority is given to rapid status grasp and power deployment through scientification and modernization. Therefore, tactical data link has been continuously improving the network speed, and recently, security technology is required for wireless communication with the UAV and various devices for reconnaissance. In addition, the future information warfare will utilize advanced IT technology positively. Efforts are needed to integrate various systems and networks. However, these efforts are meaningful only when they can assume sufficient security in a newly changing information and communication environment. In this paper, we propose a new cryptographic synchronization for link encryption suitable for tactical data links. The proposed cryptographic synchronization is useful for T4 UAV link encryption, and it is also adaptable for lower BER, then we analyze the performances analysis of that.

CCSDS Standard is widely used in international space telecommunication area. In this standard, Encryption is realized using a unique hierarchical encryption protocol and satisfied security requirements of communication channels. For synchronization, encryption sync is attached in the beginning of encrypted data. But exceptional case(timing jittering, abnormal system shutdown, etc.) is occurred, receiving equipment cannot decrypt received data. In this paper, we propose a SES Alarmed link encryption synchronization method for sending warning signal to the transmitter when some problems have been occurred during the transmission and we also suggest optimum conditions for SES Alarm signal through performance analysis.

본 논문은 복사전력에 제한을 받고 많은 잡음 채널로 전송채널이 심한 영향을 받는 이동통신망이나 위성통신망과 같은 무선 전송채널에서 버스트 오류로 인해 발생하는 통신불능 현상을 해결하기 위해 암호문에 인터리빙 기법을 제안하고 이 기법을 통해 전송성능을 개선한다. 전송성능을 개선하기 위해서는 송신되는 암호문을 암호문의 구조에 적합하도록 인터리빙기법을 설계하여 전송함으로써 버스트 오류가 발생할 경우에 안전하게 암호문을 수신함으로써 robust한 암호통신을 가능하도록 하였다. 본 논문은 무선채널에서 적합한 스트림암호 체계를 설계하였고 스트림암호를 통해 전송시 발생되는 동기패턴, 세션키, 암호문을 인터리빙 기법을 통하여 전송함으로써 버스트 오류로부터 암호문을 보호하고 전송성능을 개선하였다.

The standard data link layer encryption provided by CCSDS has a structure that encodes HDLC frame into it using an AES algorithm. However, CCSDS is standard method has a structure in which the receiving side cannot request a re-activation when noise interference occurs over an unstable channel. SES Alarmed has a structure that enables the receiving side to additionally detect errors and perform re-activation requests in an operational structure similar to that of link encryption in CCSDS. The SES Alarmed related paper was intended to identify the optimum range of thresholds and identify data corruption due to channel noise. In this paper, the focus was on reducing the re-activation process if the HDLC frame, excluding the password Sync code, consistently exceeds any threshold levels. The HDLC frame order was changed and the results of using SES Alarmed were proposed and compared.

In this paper, a CCSDS(Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) telecommand(TC) decryptor for the security of geostationary communications satellite was implemented. For the confidentiality of CCSDS TC datalink security, Option-A which implements the security services below the transfer sublayer was selected. Also CFB(Cipher Feedback) operation mode of DES(Data Encryption Standard) was used for the encryption of 56-bit data bits in 64-bit codeblock. To verify Decryptor function, the DES CFB logic implemented on A54SX32 FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) was integrated with interface and control logics in a PCB(Printed Circuit Board). Using a function test PC, the encrypted codeblocks were generated, transferred into the decryptor, decrypted, and the decrypted codeblocks were transmitted to the function test PC, and then compared with the source codeblocks. Through LED(Light Emitting Diode) ON operation by driving the relay related to Op-code decoded and the comparison between the codeblock output waveforms measured and those simulated, the telecommand decryptor function was verified.

QKD(Quantum Key Distribution) is one of the protocols that can make two distant parties safely share secure keys against the threat of quantum computer. Generally, cryptographic applications which are connected to the QKD device have fixed roles as a transmitter and a receiver due to the race condition and complexity of implementation. Because the conventional QKD system is mainly applied to the link encryptor, there are no problems even if the roles of the cryptographic devices are fixed. We propose a new scheme of QKD system and protocol that is easy to extend to the QKD network by eliminating quantum key dependency between cryptographic device and QKD node. The secure keys which are generated by the TRNG(True Random Number Generator) are provided to the cryptographic applications instead of quantum keys. We design an architecture to transmit safely the secure keys using the inbound and outbound quantum keys which are shared between two nodes. In this scheme, since the dependency of shared quantum keys between two QKD nodes is eliminated, all cryptographic applicatons can be a master or a slave depending on who initiates the cryptographic communications.

In order to prevent tampering and reverse engineering of executive code, this paper propose a new tamper resistant software mechanism. This paper presents a cryptographic MAC function and a relationship which has its security level derived by the importance of code block instead of by merely getting the encryption and decryption key from the previous block. In this paper, we propose a cryptographic MAC function which generates a dynamic MAC function key instead of the hash function as written in many other papers. In addition, we also propose a relationships having high, medium and low security levels. If any block is determined to have a high security level then that block will be encrypted by the key generated by the related medium security level block. The low security block will be untouched due to efficiency considerations. The MAC function having this dynamic key and block relationship will make analyzing executive code more difficult.

논문에서는 프레임릴레이 프로토콜을 사용하는 암호 통신 시스템에 적합한 키 스트림 동기 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 주소영역의 확장 비트를 이용한 키 스트림 동기 방식은 단위 측정 시간 동안 측정된 프레임릴레이 프로토콜의 주소영역의 확장 비트 정보와 플래그 패턴의 수신률을 이용하여 문턱값보다 적은 경우에 동기 신호와 세션 키를 전송하므로써 종래의 주기적인 동기 방식에서 전송 효율성 저하와 주기적인 상이한 세션 키 발생, 다음 주김까지 동기 이탈 상태로 인한 오류 확산 등의 단점을 해결하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 데이터 링크 계층의 처리기능을 최소화하여 패킷 망의 고속화가 가능하도록 설계된 프레임릴레이 프로토콜에서 서비스되는 동기식 스트림 암호 통신 시스템에 적용하여 slip rate $10^{-7}$의 환경에서 주기가 Isec인 주기적인 동기 방식에서 요구되는 9.6*10/ sup 6/비트에 비해 6.4*$10^{5}$비트가 소요됨으로써 전송율 측면에서의 성능 향상과 오복호율과 오복호율과 오복호 데이터 비트 측면에서 성능 향상을 얻었다.다.
