In this paper, we introduce concepts of optimal and near optimal secret data hiding schemes. We present a new digital image steganography approach based on the Galois field $GF(p^m)$ using graph and automata to design the data hiding scheme of the general form ($k,N,{\lfloor}{\log}_2p^{mn}{\rfloor}$) for binary, gray and palette images with the given assumptions, where k, m, n, N are positive integers and p is prime, show the sufficient conditions for the existence and prove the existence of some optimal and near optimal secret data hiding schemes. These results are derived from the concept of the maximal secret data ratio of embedded bits, the module approach and the fastest optimal parity assignment method proposed by Huy et al. in 2011 and 2013. An application of the schemes to the process of hiding a finite sequence of secret data in an image is also considered. Security analyses and experimental results confirm that our approach can create steganographic schemes which achieve high efficiency in embedding capacity, visual quality, speed as well as security, which are key properties of steganography.

Nowadays, cloud is the fastest emerging technology in the IT industry. We can store and retrieve data from the cloud. The most frequently occurring problems in the cloud are security and privacy preservation of data. For improving its security, secret information must be protected from various illegal accesses. Numerous traditional cryptography algorithms have been used to increase the privacy in preserving cloud data. Still, there are some problems in privacy protection because of its reduced security. Thus, this article proposes an ElGamal Elliptic Curve (EGEC) Homomorphic encryption scheme for safeguarding the confidentiality of data stored in a cloud. The Users who hold a data can encipher the input data using the proposed EGEC encryption scheme. The homomorphic operations are computed on encrypted data. Whenever user sends data access permission requests to the cloud data storage. The Cloud Service Provider (CSP) validates the user access policy and provides the encrypted data to the user. ElGamal Elliptic Curve (EGEC) decryption was used to generate an original input data. The proposed EGEC homomorphic encryption scheme can be tested using different performance metrics such as execution time, encryption time, decryption time, memory usage, encryption throughput, and decryption throughput. However, efficacy of the ElGamal Elliptic Curve (EGEC) Homomorphic Encryption approach is explained by the comparison study of conventional approaches.

Key exchange protocol (KEP) is an essential setup to secure authenticates transmission among two or more users in cyberspace. Digital files protected and transmitted by the encryption of the files over public channels, a single key communal concerning the channel parties and utilized for both to encrypt the files as well as decrypt the files. If entirely done, this impedes unauthorized third parties from imposing a key optimal on the authorized parties. In this article, we have suggested a new KEP term as isokey interchange protocol based on generalization of modern mathematics term as isomathematics by utilizing isonumbers for corresponding isounits over the Block Upper Triangular Isomatrices (BUTI) which is secure, feasible and extensible. We also were utilizing arithmetic operations like Isoaddition, isosubtraction, isomultiplication and isodivision from isomathematics to build iso-key interchange protocol for network communication. The execution of our protocol is for two isointegers corresponding two elements of the group of isomatrices and cryptographic performance of products eachother. We demonstrate the protection of suggested isokey interchange protocol against Brute force attacks, Menezes et al. algorithm and Climent et al. algorithm.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is one of the finest cryptographic technique of recent time due to its lower key length and satisfactory performance with different hardware structures. In this paper, a High Throughput Multiplier architecture is introduced for Elliptic Cryptographic applications based on concurrent computations. With the aid of the concurrent computing approach, the High Throughput Concurrent Computation (HTCC) technology that was just presented improves the processing speed as well as the overall efficiency of the point-multiplier architecture. Here, first and second distinct group operation of point multiplier are combined together and synthesised concurrently. The synthesis of proposed HTCC technique is performed in Xilinx Virtex - 5 and Xilinx Virtex - 7 of Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) family. In terms of slices, flip flops, time delay, maximum frequency, and efficiency, the advantages of the proposed HTCC point multiplier architecture are outlined, and a comparison of these advantages with those of existing state-of-the-art point multiplier approaches is provided over GF(2¹⁶³), GF(2²³³) and GF(2²⁸³). The efficiency using proposed HTCC technique is enhanced by 30.22% and 75.31% for Xilinx Virtex-5 and by 25.13% and 47.75% for Xilinx Virtex-7 in comparison according to the LC design as well as the LL design, in their respective fashions. The experimental results for Virtex - 5 and Virtex - 7 over GF(2²³³) and GF(2²⁸³)are also very satisfactory.

With the emergence of advanced encryption technologies such as Quantum Cryptography and Full Disk Encryption, an era of strengthening information security has begun. Users respond positively to the advancement of privacy-enhancing technology, on the other hand, investigative agencies have difficulty unveiling the actual truth as they fail to decrypt devices. In particular, unlike past ciphers, encryption methods using biometric information such as fingerprints, iris, and faces have become common and have faced technical limitations in collecting digital evidence. Accordingly, normative solutions have emerged as a major issue. The United States enacted the CLOUD Act with the legal mechanism of 'Contempt of court' and in 2016, the United Kingdom substantiated the Compelled Decryption through the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA). However, it is difficult to enforce Compelled Decryption on individuals in Korea because Korean is highly sensitive to personal information. Therefore, in this paper, we sought a method of introducing a Compelled Decryption that does not contradict the people's legal sentiment through a perception survey of 95 people on the Compelled Decryption. We tried to compare and review the Budapest Convention with major overseas laws such as the United States and the United Kingdom, and to suggest a direction of legislation acceptable to the people in ways to minimize infringement of privacy. We hope that this study will be an effective legal response plan for law enforcement agencies that can normatively overcome the technical limitations of decoding.

Organizations and other institutions have recently started using cloud service providers to store and share information in light of the Internet of Things (IoT). The major issues with this storage are preventing unauthorized access and data theft from outside parties. The Block chain based Security Sharing scheme with Data Access Control (BSSDAC) was implemented to improve access control and secure data transaction operations. The goal of this research is to strengthen Data Access Control (DAC) and security in IoT applications. To improve the security of personal data, cypher text-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) can be developed. The Aquila Optimization Algorithm (AOA) generates keys in the CP-ABE. DAC based on a block chain can be created to maintain the owner's security. The block chain based CP-ABE was developed to maintain secures data storage to sharing. With block chain technology, the data owner is enhancing data security and access management. Finally, a block chain-based solution can be used to secure data and restrict who has access to it. Performance of the suggested method is evaluated after it has been implemented in MATLAB. To compare the proposed method with current practices, Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) are both used.

Private set intersection cardinality (PSI-CA) is a typical problem in the field of secure multi-party computation, which enables two parties calculate the cardinality of intersection securely without revealing any information about their sets. And it is suitable for private data protection scenarios where only the cardinality of the set intersection needs to be calculated. However, most of the currently available PSI-CA protocols only meet the security under the semi-honest model and can't resist the malicious behaviors of participants. To solve the problems above, by the application of the variant of Elgamal cryptography and Bloom filter, we propose an efficient PSI-CA protocol with high security. We also present two new operations on Bloom filter called IBF and BIBF, which could further enhance the safety of private data. Using zero-knowledge proof to ensure the safety under malicious adversary model. Moreover, in order to minimize the error in the results caused by the false positive problem, we use Garbled Bloom Filter and key-value pair packing creatively and present an improved PSI-CA protocol. Through experimental comparison with several existing representative protocols, our protocol runs with linear time complexity and more excellent characters, which is more suitable for practical application scenarios.

본 논문에서는 GF(p) 상에서 모듈러 제곱근 (MSQR) 연산의 효율적인 하드웨어 구현에 대해 기술한다. MSQR 연산은 타원곡선 기반의 EC-ElGamal 공개키 암호를 위해 평문 메시지를 타원곡선 상의 점으로 매핑하기 위해 필요하다. 본 논문의 방법은 NIST 표준으로 규정된 5가지 크기의 GF(p) 타원곡선을 지원하며, 192-비트, 256-비트, 384-비트 그리고 521-비트 크기의 Kobliz 곡선과 슈도 랜덤 곡선들은 모듈러 값의 특성을 기반으로 오일러 판정법을 적용하고, 224-비트 크기의 경우에는 Tonelli-Shanks 알고리듬을 간략화시켜 적용하였다. 제안된 방법을 ECC 프로세서의 32-비트 데이터 패스를 갖는 유한체 연산회로와 메모리 블록을 이용하여 구현하였으며, FPGA 디바이스에 구현하여 하드웨어 동작을 검증하였다. 구현된 회로가 50 MHz 클록으로 동작하는 경우에, 224-비트 슈도 랜덤 곡선의 경우에는 MSQR 계산에 약 18 ms가 소요되고, 256-비트 Kobliz 곡선의 경우에는 약 4 ms가 소요된다.
