In this paper, we show that the Chinese standard block cipher SM4 is vulnerable to the side channel attacks and present a countermeasure to resist them. We firstly validate that the secret key of SM4 can be recovered by differential power analysis(DPA) and correlation power analysis(CPA) attacks. Therefore we analyze the vulnerable element caused by power attack and propose a first order masking-based countermeasure to defeat DPA and CPA attacks. Although the proposed countermeasure unfortunately is still vulnerable to the profiling power attacks such as deep learning-based multi layer perceptron(MLP), it can sufficiently overcome the non-profiling attacks such as DPA and CPA.

Cryptographic algorithms are being standardized globally, and the security of cryptographic algorithms has been well proven. However, there is a need for an improved verification method to verify that the existing verification method is correctly implemented according to the standard, because there is a weakness in implementation and it can cause serious damage. Therefore, in this paper, we selected ARIA and LEA to be verified among 128-bit or more block cipher modules performed by the National Intelligence Service, and propose a method to verify whether it is implemented correctly using Cryptol for high-assurance cryptographic module.

As the number of IoT service increases, the interest of lightweight block cipher algorithm, which consists of simple operations with low-power and high speed, is growing. LEA(Leightweight Encryption Algorithm) is recently adopted as one of lightweight encryption standards in Korea. In this paper a pipeline LEA architecture is proposed to process large amounts of data with high throughput. The proposed pipeline LEA can communicate with external modules in the 32-bit I/O interface. It consists of input, output and encryption pipeline stages which take 4 cycles using a muti-cycle pipeline technique. The experimental results showed that the proposed pipeline LEA achieved more than 7.5 Gbps even though the key length was varied. Compared with the previous high speed LEA in accordance with key length of 128, 192, and 256 bits, the throughput of the pipeline LEA was improved 6.45, 7.52, and 8.6 times. Also the throughput per area was improved 2, 1.82, and 2.1 times better than the previous one.

Since the server system in the cloud environments can simultaneously operate multiple OS and commonly share the memory space between users, an adversary can recover some secret information using cache side-channel attacks. In this paper, the Flush+Reload attack, a kind of cache side-channel attacks, is applied to the optimized precomputation table implementation of Korea block cipher standard ARIA. As an experimental result of attack on ARIA-128 implemented in Ubuntu environment, we show that the adversary can extract the 16 bytes last round key through Flush+Reload attack. Furthermore, the master key of ARIA can be revealed from last and first round key used in an encryption processing.

In this fast-paced technological world, the Internet of Things is a ground breaking technology which finds an immense role in the present electronic world which includes different embedded sensors, devices and most other things which are connected to the Internet. The IoT devices are designed in a way that it helps to collect various forms of data from varied sources and transmit them in digitalized form. In modern era of IoT technology data security is a trending issue which greatly affects the confidentiality of important information. Keeping the issue in mind a novel light encryption strategy known as LCB is designed for IoT devices for optimal security. LCB exploits the benefits of Feistel structure and the architectural benefits of substitution permutation network both to give more security. Moreover, this newly designed technique is tested on (Virtex-7) XC7VX330T FPGA board and it takes much little area of 224 GE (Gate Equivalent) and is extremely fast with very less combinational path delay of 0.877 ns. An in-depth screening confirms the proposed work to promise more security to counter cryptographic attacks. Lastly the Avalanche Effect (AE) of LCB showed as 63.125% and 63.875% when key and plaintext (PT) are taken into consideration respectively.

The white-box implementation is a cryptographic technique used to protect the secret key of a cryptographic system. It is primarily employed for digital rights management for music and videos. Since 2002, numerous white-box implementations have been developed to ensure secure digital rights management. These have been applied to AES and DES. ARIA, a 128-bit block cipher with an involution substitution and permutation network (SPN), was selected as a South Korean standard in 2004. In this paper, we propose the first white-box ARIA implementation. Our implementation consists of 7,696 lookup tables, with a total size of 1,984 KB. We demonstrate that it also has considerable white-box diversity and white-box ambiguity from a security perspective.

This paper implemented into hardware SEED which is the KOREA standard 128-bit block cipher. First, at the respect of hardware implementation, we compared and analyzed SEED with AES finalist algorithms - MARS, RC6, RIJNDAEL, SERPENT, TWOFISH, which are secret key block encryption algorithms. The encryption of SEED is faster than MARS, RC6, TWOFISH, but is as five times slow as RIJNDAEL which is the fastest. We propose a SEED hardware architecture which improves the encryption speed. We divided one round into three parts, J1 function block, J2 function block J3 function block including key mixing block, because SEED repeatedly executes the same operation 16 times, then we pipelined one round into three parts, J1 function block, J2 function block, J3 function block including key mixing block, because SEED repeatedly executes the same operation 16 times, then we pipelined it to make it more faster. G-function is implemented more easily by xoring four extended 4 byte SS-boxes. We tested it using ALTERA FPGA with Verilog HDL. If the design is synthesized with 0.5 um Samsung standard cell library, encryption of ECB and decryption of ECB, CBC, CFB, which can be pipelined would take 50 clock cycles to encrypt 384-bit plaintext, and hence we have 745.6 Mbps assuming 97.1 MHz clock frequency. Encryption of CBC, OFB, CFB and decryption of OFB, which cannot be pipelined have 258.9 Mbps under same condition.

The IoT environment provides an infinite variety of services using many different devices and networks. The development of the IoT environment is directly proportional to the level of security that can be provided. In some ways, lightweight cryptography is suitable for IoT environments, because it provides security, higher throughput, low power consumption and compactness. However, it has the limitation that it must form a new cryptosystem and be used within a limited resource range. Therefore, it is not the best solution for the IoT environment that requires diversification. Therefore, in order to overcome these disadvantages, this paper proposes a method suitable for the IoT environment, while using the existing block cipher algorithm, viz. the lightweight cipher algorithm, and keeping the existing system (viz. the sensing part and the server) almost unchanged. The proposed BCL architecture can perform encryption for various sensor devices in existing wire/wireless USNs (using) lightweight encryption. The proposed BCL architecture includes a pre/post-processing part in the existing block cipher algorithm, which allows various scattered devices to operate in a daisy chain network environment. This characteristic is optimal for the information security of distributed sensor systems and does not affect the neighboring network environment, even if hacking and cracking occur. Therefore, the BCL architecture proposed in the IoT environment can provide an optimal solution for the diversified IoT environment, because the existing block cryptographic algorithm, viz. the lightweight cryptographic algorithm, can be used.
