Various researchers conducted the research on two-factor authentication suitable for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) after Das first proposed two-factor authentication combining the smart card and password. After then, To improve the security of user authentication, elliptic curve cryptography(ECC)-based authentication protocols have been proposed. Jiang et al. proposed a privacy-aware two-factor authentication protocol based on ECC for WSM for resolving various problems of ECC-based authentication protocols. However, Jiang et al.'s protocol has the vulnerabilities on a lack of mutual authentication, a risk of SID modification and a lack of sensor anonymity, and user's ID exposed on sensor node Therefore, this paper proposed security enhanced privacy-aware two-factor authentication protocol for wireless sensor networks to solve the problem of Jiang et al.'s protocol, and security analysis was conducted for the proposed protocol.

Along with the recent advances in quantum computers, it is anticipated that cryptographic attacks using them will make it insecure to use existing public key algorithms such as RSA and ECC. Currently, a lot of researches are underway to replace them by devising PQC (Post Quantum Cryptography) schemes. In this paper, we propose a performance enhancement method for Lizard implementation which is one of NIST PQC standardization submission. The proposed method is able to improve the performance by 7 ~ 25% for its algorithms compared to the implementation in the submission through the techniques of various implementation aspects. This study hopes that Lizard will become more competitive as a candidate for PQC standardization.

컴퓨터와 네트워크의 보급이 일반화되면서 인터넷을 통한 정보전달이 일상 생활처럼 되고 있다. 기존에는 정보를 전달하기 위한 방법이 주로 전자메일에 한정되어 있던 것에 반해, 요즘은 좀 더 즉각적으로 메시지를 전달해주는 인스턴트 메신저를 많이 사용하고 있다. 인스턴트 메신저는 이러한 장점으로 인해 국내에서도 사용자가 급속하게 늘고 있다. 현재 사용하고 있는 대부분의 인스턴트 메신저는 서버에 로그 온 할 때 패스워드를 대칭키 암호기술로 암호화해서 보내지만 패스워드 크래킹 프로그램들이 많이 알려져 있어 전송되는 정보가 제 3자에 의한 암호 해독이 가능하게 된다. 또한 키 분배 및 관리에 있어서 어려움이 있다. 대칭키 암호기술의 어려움을 극복하는 방안으로 제안되었던 공개키 암호기준은 키 분배 및 관리는 편리해졌지만 알고리즘이 더 복잡하고 키의 길이가 상당히 길어 많은 제약이 따르며 처리속도가 오래 걸린다는 단점을 지닌다.[1] 이에 대안으로 제안된 타원곡선 암호체계(Elliptic Curve Cryptography, ECC)는 동일한 키 사이즈를 갖는 다른 암호체계보다 훨씬 강하다고 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 ECC를 이용하여 빠르고 효율적이며 높은 안전도를 나타내는 인스턴트 메신저에서의 패스워드 키 교환 방식을 설계한다.

Conventional researches of standard tool validating public key cryptographic algorithm have been studied for the internet environment, not for the mobile internet. It is important to develop the validation tool for establishment of interoperability and convenience of users in mobile internet. Therefore, this paper presents the validation tool of Elliptic Curie Cryptography algorithm that can test if following X9.62 technology standard specification. The validation tool can be applied all information securities using ECDSA, ECKCDSA, ECDH, etc. Moreover, we can en-hace the precision of validation through several experiments and perform the validation tool in the online environment.

A scalable ECC architecture with high scalability and flexibility between performance and hardware complexity is proposed. For architectural scalability, a modular arithmetic unit based on a one-dimensional array of processing element (PE) that performs finite field operations on 32-bit words in parallel was implemented, and the number of PEs used can be determined in the range of 1 to 8 for circuit synthesis. A scalable algorithms for word-based Montgomery multiplication and Montgomery inversion were adopted. As a result of implementing scalable ECC processor (sECCP) using 180-nm CMOS technology, it was implemented with 100 kGEs and 8.8 kbits of RAM when N_PE=1, and with 203 kGEs and 12.8 kbits of RAM when N_PE=8. The performance of sECCP with N_PE=1 and N_PE=8 was analyzed to be 110 PSMs/sec and 610 PSMs/sec, respectively, on P256R elliptic curve when operating at 100 MHz clock.

A high-performance elliptic curve cryptography processor (HP-ECCP) was designed to support five field sizes of 192, 224, 256, 384 and 521 bits over GF(p) defined in NIST FIPS 186-2, and it provides eight modes of arithmetic operations including ECPSM, ECPA, ECPD, MA, MS, MM, MI and MD. In order to make the HP-ECCP resistant to side-channel attacks, a modified left-to-right binary algorithm was used, in which point addition and point doubling operations are uniformly performed regardless of the Hamming weight of private key used for ECPSM. In addition, Karatsuba-Ofman multiplication algorithm (KOMA), Lazy reduction and Nikhilam division algorithms were adopted for designing high-performance modular multiplier that is the core arithmetic block for elliptic curve point operations. The HP-ECCP synthesized using a 180-nm CMOS cell library occupied 620,846 gate equivalents with a clock frequency of 67 MHz, and it was evaluated that an ECPSM with a field size of 256 bits can be computed 2,200 times per second.

Traditionally embedded microprocessors is considered as a device for low- and simple-computations because of its limited computing power and constrained resources. However high-end embedded devices have been developed and many applications are getting feasible in the embedded devices. To provide secure and robust service environments, security on embedded devices are in order. Recently many research results on embedded devices have been proposed. In this paper, we explore various cryptography implementation results on representative 8-, 16- and 32-bit embedded processors including AVR, MSP and ARM. This report would be helpful for following researchers who are interested in cryptography implementation techniques on resource constrained devices.

This paper describes a scalar multiplier for Elliptic curve cryptography for smart card security. The scaler multiplier has 163-bits key size which supports the specifications of smart card standard. To reduce the computational complexity of scala multiplication on finite field, the non-adjacent format (NAF) conversion algorithm which is based on complementary recoding is adopted. The scalar multiplier core synthesized with a 0.35-${\mu}m$ CMOS cell library has 32,768 gates and can operate up to 150-MHz@3.3-V. It can be used in hardware design of Elliptic curve cryptography processor for smartcard security.

차세대 컴퓨터인 양자 컴퓨터는 현재 정보화시스템에서 널리 사용되고 있는 공개키 암호 시스템인 RSA와 Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)의 안전성을 위협하고 있다. 특히 양자 알고리즘인 Shor 알고리즘은 RSA와 ECC가 기반하고 있는 수학적 난제들을 다항 시간 내에 해결할 수 있기 때문에 NIST에서는 양자컴퓨터 상에서 내성을 가진 공개키 암호 표준화 공모전을 개최하였다. 2022년도에 NIST에서는 4개의 3라운드 최종 표준화 알고리즘을 발표하였다. 이와 동시에, 4라운드 표준화 알고리즘을 진행함으로써, 공개키 분야에서 코드 기반 또는 아이소제니 기반의 새로운 암호 알고리즘을 추가로 표준화할 예정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 NIST 양자 내성 암호 표준화 공모전 4라운드의 후보 알고리즘인 코드 기반 암호 Classic McEliece, BIKE, HQC와 아이소제니 기반 암호 SIKE의 최신 동향에 대해 확인해본다. 추가적으로, 해당 암호 알고리즘에 대한 분석 기법과 공격 사례에 대해 살펴보고록 한다.
