The advancement in technology has led to the enormous use of multimedia applications. The video/image recorded by such applications provides critical information that can be used as a visual evidence. However, owing to the adequacy in using different editing tools, it is susceptible to malicious alterations. Thus, the reliability or the integrity of the visual information should be verified before using it as an evidence. In this paper, we propose an integrity verification method for the surveillance system using randomized hashing. The integrity value of the surveillance data is generated using the randomized hashing and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), which is used later for the validation. The experimental results obtained from the embedded accident data recorder (ADR) system shows that the proposed method is very efficient and provides a high level of security.

Recently, as network and computer technologies are growing rapidly, most of business transactions are performed in cyber world. In spite of many advantages, the most concerns in Electronic Commerce are the information security matters, and the cryptosystem has been claimed as one of the proper means to settle this problem. In this paper, a partial encryption/decryption algorithm has been in-troduced to show the efficiency against the conventional method in which all the data are completely encoded. In our proposed scheme, the multimedia data can be efficiently encoded in a short time providing good data security. For example, the MP3 data can be securely protected with 10% encryption in our scheme. Moreover, 1he shuffling process at the end of partial encryption procedure provides higher level of data security.

Along with the development of Information Technology, online transactions through Internet have become more popular for the reasons of convenience and efficiency. In order to provide secure and reliable online transactions, an effective electronic payment protocol is crucial. In this paper, we propose a novel electronic payment protocol for digital product transactions with an offline arbiter to achieve fair exchange, automated dispute resolution, customer anonymity, and customer unlinkability. In our protocol a product token is adopted to eliminate the need of key management for digital product decryption in the offline arbiter. In addition, Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)-based self-certified public key is utilized to further reduce computing overheads. According to our analysis, the efficiency of our protocol can be greatly increased in comparison with previous literatures.

IoT applications are quickly spread in many fields. Blockchain methods(BC), defined as a distributed sharing mechanism, offer excellent support for IoT evolution. The BC provides a secure way for communication between IoT devices. However, the IoT environments are threatened by hacker attacks and malicious intrusions. The IoT applications security are faced with three challenges: intrusions and attacks detection, secure communication, and compressed storage information. This paper proposed a system based on double-blockchain to improve the communication transactions' safety and enhance the information compression method for the stored data. Information security is enhanced by using an Ellipse Curve Cryptography(ECC) considered in a double-blockchain case. The data compression is ensured by the Compressed Sensing(CS) method. The conducted experimentation reveals that the proposed method is more accurate in security and storage performance than previous related works.

양자 컴퓨터의 발전과 쇼어 알고리즘을 통한 ECC(Eliptic Curve Cryptography)에 대한 다항 시간의 솔루션을 제공함으로써 블록체인의 안정성이 위협받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Round-Robin을 기반으로 하는 알고리즘을 제안함으로써 블록 생성에 대한 공정성을 제공하며 양자 내성 전자 서명인 CRYSTALS-DIlithium을 적용함으로써 근미래에 다가올 양자 위험성에 대비하였다. TPS 측면에서는 DIlithium의 큰 키 크기와 큰 서명 크기에 의해 ECDSA에 비해 낮은 성능을 보여주었지만, Latency 측면에서는 더욱 높은 성능을 보여주며, 이는 실시간성이 중요한 IoT와 같은 분야에서 더욱 높은 효용성을 보여줌을 알 수 있다.

고전 컴퓨터에서 풀기 어려운 난제를 효율적으로 모델링하고 해결할 수 있는 양자 컴퓨터는 현재암호들을 위협하고 있다. 특히, 공개키 암호에 해당하는 RSA와 Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)는 Shor의 양자 알고리즘에 의해 해당 암호들의 안전성이 기반이 되는 난제들을 다항 시간 내에 해결하여 새로운 양자 내성 암호가 필요한 상황이다. 이에 NIST는 양자내성암호 표준화 공모전을 주최함으로써 현재까지 표준화 작업을 이어나가고 있다. 대칭키 암호의 경우, Grover의양자 검색 알고리즘에 의해 고전 컴퓨터상에서 보장하던 보안 강도가 제곱근으로 감소되게 된다. 기존, 신규 암호 알고리즘 모두 양자 컴퓨터상에서의 보안 강도를 평가해야 되는 상황이며, 이에 NIST는 양자 후 보안 강도 기준을 도입하였다. 양자 후 보안 강도는 레벨 1에서 5로 정의되며, 각 레벨에는 AES 및 SHA-2/3에 대한 양자 해킹 비용이 지정되어있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 암호 학계 상황에 따라, 대칭키 AES 및 해시 함수 SHA-2/3에 대한 해킹, 특히 양자 회로 구현 동향에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

In this paper, we implemented a scalar multiplier needed at an elliptic curve cryptosystem over standard basis in $GF(2^{163})$. The scalar multiplier consists of a radix-16 finite field serial multiplier and a finite field inverter with some control logics. The main contribution is to develop a new fast finite field inverter, which made it possible to avoid time consuming iterations of finite field multiplication. We used an algorithmic transformation technique to obtain a data-independent computational structure of the Extended Euclid GCD algorithm. The finite field multiplier and inverter shown in this paper have regular structure so that they can be easily extended to larger word size. Moreover they can achieve 100% throughput using the pipelining. Our new scalar multiplier is synthesized using Hyundai Electronics 0.6$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS library, and maximum operating frequency is estimated about 140MHz. The resulting data processing performance is 64Kbps, that is it takes 2.53ms to process a 163-bit data frame. We assure that this performance is enough to be used for digital signature, encryption & decryption and key exchange in real time embedded-processor environments.

Fast scalar multiplication of points on elliptic curve is important for elliptic curve cryptography applications. In order to vary field sizes depending on security situations, the cryptography coprocessors should support variable length finite field arithmetic units. To determine the effective variable length finite field arithmetic architecture, two well-known curve scalar multiplication algorithms were implemented on FPGA. The affine coordinates algorithm must use a hardware division unit, but the projective coordinates algorithm only uses a fast multiplication unit. The former algorithm needs the division hardware. The latter only requires a multiplication hardware, but it need more space to store intermediate results. To make the division unit versatile, we need to add a feedback signal line at every bit position. We proposed a method to mitigate this problem. For multiplication in projective coordinates implementation, we use a widely used digit serial multiplication hardware, which is simpler to be made versatile. We experimented with our implemented ECC coprocessors using variable length finite field arithmetic unit which has the maximum field size 256. On the clock speed 40 MHz, the scalar multiplication time is 6.0 msec for affine implementation while it is 1.15 msec for projective implementation. As a result of the study, we found that the projective coordinates algorithm which does not use the division hardware was faster than the affine coordinate algorithm. In addition, the memory implementation effectiveness relative to logic implementation will have a large influence on the implementation space requirements of the two algorithms.

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.
