Studies on binary adder have been variously developed. According to those studies of critical worst delay and mean delay time of asynchronous binary adders, carry select adders (CSA) based on hybrid structure showed 17% better performance than ripple carry adders (RCA) in 32 bit asynchronous processors, and 23% better than in 64 bit microprocessor implemented. In the complicated signal processing systems such as RSA, it is essential to optimize the performance of binary adders which play fundamental roles. The researches which have been studied so far were subject mostly to addition algorithms or adder structures. In this study, we analyzed and designed adders in an asp;ect of synthesis method. We divided the ways of implementing adders into groups, each of which was synthesized with different synthesis options. Also, we analyzed the variously implemented adders to evaluate the performance and area so that we can propose a different approach of designing optimal binary adders.

Biometric-based authentication can provide strong security guarantee about the identity of users. However, security of biometric data is particularly important as the compromise of the data will be permanent. In this paper, we propose a secure and efficient protocol to transmit fingerprint images from a fingerprint sensor to a client by exploiting characteristics of fingerprint images. Because the fingerprint sensor is computationally limited, however, such encryption algorithm may not be applied to the full fingerprint images in real-time. To reduce the computational workload on the resource-constrained sensor, we apply the encryption algorithm to a specific bitplane of each pixel of the fingerprint image. We use the LSB as specific bitplane instead of MSB used to encrypt general multimedia contents because simple attacks can reveal the fingerprint ridge information even from the MSB-based encryption. Based on the experimental results, our proposed algorithm can reduce the execution time of the full encryption by a factor of six and guarantee both the integrity and the confidentiality without any leakage of the ridge information.

Recently, the importance for internet of things (IoT) security has increased enormously and hardware-based compact chips are needed in IoT communication industries. In this paper, we propose low-complexity crypto-processor that unifies advanced encryption standard (AES), academy, research, institute, agency (ARIA), and CLEFIA protocols into one combined design. In the proposed crypto-processor, encryption and decryption processes are shared, and 128-bit round key generation process is combined. Moreover, the shared design has been minimized to be adapted in generic IoT devices and systems including lightweight IoT devices. The proposed crypto-processor was implemented in Verilog hardware description language (HDL) and synthesized to gate level circuit in 65nm CMOS process, which results in 11,080 gate counts. This demonstrates roughly 42% better than the aggregates of three algorithm implementations in the aspect of gate counts.

In this paper, we propose new novel technique (ILCT: Instruction-Level Correlation Technique) which can detect tempered instructions by software attacks or hardware attacks before their execution. In conventional works, due to both high complex computation of cipher process and low processing speed of cipher modules, existing secure processor architecture applying cipher technique can cause serious performance degradation. While, the secure processor architecture applying ILCT with FEC does not incur excessive performance decrease by complexity of computation and speed of tampering detection modules. According to experimental results, total memory overhead including parity are increased in average of 26.62%. Also, secure programs incur CPI degradation in average of $1.20%{\sim}1.97%$.

Ubiquitous Computing 환경은 모든 사물과 공간이 지능화되어 사용자가 컴퓨터나 네트워크를 의식하지 않는 상태에서 장소에 구애받지 않고 자유롭게 네트워크에 접속할 수 있는 환경을 의미한다. 만일 이러한 환경 속에서 개인정보들이 노출되었을 경우는 법적, 사회적, 경제적으로 커다란 손실을 초래하게 된다. 이것을 방지하기 위해서는 안정성과 효율성이 높은 암호 알고리즘이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 한국 표준으로 제정된 ISPN(Involutional SPN) 구조의 블록 암호화 ARIA 알고리즘을 사용하여 고속의 통신망과 Smart Card, PDA, 이동전화 및 다양한 기기 둥의 사용이 보편화될 Ubiquitous Computing 환경에 응용 가능한 ARIA 암호화 프로세서(이하 ARIA 프로세서)를 설계하였다.

In this study, an extension instruction set for high-speed operation of the ARIA block cipher algorithm on RISC-V processor is added to support high-speed cryptographic operation on low performance IoT devices. We propose the efficient ARIA cryptographic instruction set which runs on a conventional 32-bit processor. Compared to the existing software cryptographic operation, there is a significant performance improvement with proposed instruction set.

The advance of communication and networking technology enables high bandwidth multimedia data transmission. The development of high performance compression technology such as H.264 also encourages high quality video and audio data transmission. The trend requires efficient protection system for digital media rights. We propose an efficient digital media protection system using elliptic curve cryptography. Only key parameters are encrypted to reduce the burden of complex encryption and decryption in the proposed system, and the digital media are not played back or the quality is degraded if the encrypted information is missing. We need a playback system with an ECC processor to implement the proposed system. We implement an H.264 decoding system with a configurable ECC processor to verify the proposed protection system We verify that the H.264 movie is not decoded without the decrypted information.

보안 시스템은 암호화 기능을 필요로 하고 암호화를 위 한 비밀키로 난수를 사용한다 난수 발생기에는 순수 난수 발생기와 의사 난수 발생기가 있다. 본 논문에서는 펜티엄부터 인텔 프로세서들이 가지고 있는 타임스탬프 카운터 레지스터(TSC MSR)에서 시드를 가져와 비트 가공을 통해 난수를 발생하는 난수 발생기를 구현하였다. 구현된 난수 발생기의 난수 품질을 평가하기 위해 순수 난수 발생기, 의사 난수 발생기의 난수 시퀀스와 비교하였다. 구현된 난수 발생기가 생성한 난수 시퀀스는 순수 난수 발생기의 난수 시퀀스와 큰 차이가 없고 특정 디바이스 없이 응용이 간단하다는 점에서 보안 시스템의 암호화키로 사용하기에 적합하다.

Cryptography is the methods of making and using secret writing that is necessary to keep messages private between two parties. Cryptography is compute-intensive algorithm and needs cpu resource excessively. To solve these problems, there exists hardware approach that implements cryptographic algorithm with hardware chip. In this paper, we presents the design and implementation of cryptographic hardware and compares its performance with software cryptographic algorithms. The experimental result shows that the hardware approach causes high I/O overheads when it transmits data between cryptographic board and host cpu. Hence, low complexity cryptographic algorithms such as DES does not improve the performance. But high complexity cryptographic algorithms such as Triple DES improve the performance with a high rate, roughly from two times to Sour times.

Lightweight block cipher (Lightweight Encryption Algorithm, LEA), is the most promising block cipher algorithm due to its efficient implementation feature and high security level. The LEA block cipher is widely used in real-field applications and there are many efforts to enhance the performance of LEA in terms of execution timing to achieve the high availability under any circumstances. In this paper, we enhance the performance of LEA block cipher, particularly on ARMv8 processors. The LEA implementation is optimized by using new SIMD instructions namely NEON engine and 24 LEA encryption operations are simultaneously performed in parallel way. In order to reduce the number of memory access, we utilized the all NEON registers to retain the intermediate results. Finally, we evaluated the performance of the LEA implementation, and the proposed implementations on Apple A7 and Apple A9 achieved the 2.4 cycles/byte and 2.2 cycles/byte, respectively.
