This paper defines the AES password algorithm used as a symmetric-key-based password algorithm, and proposes the design of parallel password algorithm to utilize the resources of multi-core processor as much as possible. The proposed parallel password algorithm was confirmed for parallel execution of password computation by allocating the password algorithm according to the number of cores, and about 30% of performance increase compared to AES password algorithm. The encryption/decryption performance of the password algorithm was confirmed through binary comparative analysis tool, which confirmed that the binary results were the same for AES password algorithm and proposed parallel password algorithm, and the decrypted binary were also the same. The parallel password algorithm for multi-core environment proposed in this paper can be applied to authentication/payment of financial service in PC, laptop, server, and mobile environment, and can be utilized in the area that required high-speed encryption operation of large-sized data.

A compact and high-performance AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption/decryption processor is designed by applying various hardware sharing and optimization techniques. In order to achieve minimized hardware complexity, sharing the S-Boxes for round transformation with the key scheduler, as well as merging and reusing datapaths for encryption and decryption are utilized, thus the area of S-Boxes is reduced by 25%. Also, the S-Boxes which require the largest hardware in AES processor is designed by applying composite field arithmetic on $GF(((2^2)^2)^2)$, thus it further reduces the area of S-Boxes when compared to the design based on $GF(2^8)$ or $GF((2^4)^2)$. By optimizing the operation of the 64-bit round transformation and round key scheduling, the round transformation is processed in 3 clock cycles and an encryption of 128-bit data block is performed in 31 clock cycles. The designed AES processor has about 15,870 gates, and the estimated throughput is 412.9 Mbps at 100 MHz clock frequency.

RSA crypto-processors equipped with more than 1024 bits of key space handle the entire key stream in units of blocks. The RSA processor which will be the target design in this paper defines the length of the basic word as 128 bits, and uses an 256-bits register as the accumulator. For efficient execution of 128-bit multiplication, 32b${\times}$32b multiplier was designed and adopted and the results are stored in 8 separate 128-bit registers according to the status flag. In this paper, an efficient method to execute 128-bit MAC (multiplication and accumulation) operation is proposed. The suggested method pre-analyze the all possible cases so that the MAC unit can remove unnecessary calculations to speed up the execution. The proposed architecture prototype of the MAC unit was automatically synthesized, and successfully operated at 20MHz, which will be the operation frequency in the target RSA processor.

This paper presents a performance analysis model based on an M/M/1 queue and Poisson distribution of input data traffic. The simulation on a pipelined AES system with processing rate of 10 rounds per clock shows $4.0\%$ higher performance than a non-pipelined version consuming 10 clocks per transaction. Physical implementation of pipelined AES with FPGA takes 3.5 times bigger gate counts than the non-pipelined version whereas the pipelined version yields only $3.5\%$ performance enhancement. The proposed analysis model can be used to optimize cost-performance of AES hardware designs.

The LEA(Lightweight Encryption Algorithm) is a 128-bit high-speed/lightweight block cipher algorithm developed by National Security Research Institute(NSRI) in 2012. The LEA encrypts plain text of 128-bit using cipher key of 128/192/256-bit, and produces cipher text of 128-bit, and vice versa. To reduce hardware complexity, we propose an efficient architecture which shares hardware resources for encryption and decryption in round transformation block. Hardware sharing technique for key scheduler was also devised to achieve area-efficient and low-power implementation. The designed LEA cryptographic processor was verified by using FPGA implementation.

This paper describes an efficient implementation of ARIA crypto algorithm which is a KS (Korea Standards) block cipher algorithm. The ARIA crypto-processor supports three master key lengths of 128/192/256-bit specified in the standard. To reduce hardware complexity, a hardware sharing is employed, which shares round function in encryption/decryption module with key initialization module. It reduces about 20% of gate counts when compared with straightforward implementation. The ARIA crypto-processor is verified by FPGA implementation, and synthesized with a 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS cell library. It has 33,218 gates and the estimated throughput is about 640 Mbps at 100 MHz.

Multi-core processors are becoming increasingly popular. As they are widely adopted in embedded systems as well as desktop PC's, many multimedia applications are being parallelized on multi-core platforms. However, it is difficult to parallelize applications with inherent data dependencies such as encryption algorithms for multimedia data. In order to overcome this limit, we propose a technique to overlap computation and communication using an otherwise idle core in this paper. In particular, we interpret the problem of multimedia computation and communication as a pipeline design problem at the application program level, and derive an optimal number of stages in the pipeline.

Camellia was jointly developed by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation in 2000. Camellia specifies the 128-bit message block size and 128-, 192-, and 256-bit key sizes. In this paper, a modified round operation block which unifies a register setting for key schedule and a conventional round operation block is proposed. 16 ROMs needed for key generation and round operation are implemented using only 4 dual-port ROMs. Due to the use of a message buffer, encryption/decryption can be executed without a waiting time immediately after KA and KB are calculated. The suggested block cipher Camellia algorithm is designed using Verilog-HDL, implemented on Virtex4 device and operates at 184.898MHz. The designed cryptographic core has a maximum throughput of 1.183Gbps in 128-bit key mode and that of 876.5Mbps in 192 and 256-bit key modes. The cryptographic core of this paper is applicable to security module of the areas such as smart card, internet banking, e-commerce and satellite broadcasting.
