A watermarking for copyright protection of digital contents for broadcasting have to be made for a real-time system. In this paper, we propose a real-time video watermarking chip and system which is hardware based watermark embedding system of SD/HD video. Our chip is implemented by FPGA which is STRATIX device from ALTERA, and our system is implemented by GS1560A and GS1532 devices from GENNUM for HD/SD video signal processing. There was little visual artifact due to watermarking in subjective quality evaluation between the original video and the watermarked one. Embedded watermark was all extracted after a robustness test called natural video attacks such as A/D conversion and MPEG compression. Our implemented watermarking hardware system can be useful in movie production and broadcasting companies that requires real-time based copyright protection system.

This paper describes an implementation of a security SoC (System-on-Chip) prototype that interfaces a microprocessor with a block cipher crypto-core. The Cortex-M0 was used as a microprocessor, and a crypto-core implemented by integrating ARIA and AES into a single hardware was used as an intellectual property (IP). The integrated ARIA-AES crypto-core supports five modes of operation including ECB, CBC, CFB, CTR and OFB, and two master key sizes of 128-bit and 256-bit. The integrated ARIA-AES crypto-core was interfaced to work with the AHB-light bus protocol of Cortex-M0, and the crypto-core IP was expected to operate at clock frequencies up to 50 MHz. The security SoC prototype was verified by BFM simulation, and then hardware-software co-verification was carried out with FPGA implementation.

In this paper, an implementation method of RSA exponentiator based on Radix-$2^k$ modular multiplication algorithm is presented and verified. We use Booth receding algorithm to implement Radix-$2^k$ modular multiplication and implement radix-16 modular multiplier using 2K-byte memory and CSA(carry-save adder) array - with two full adder and three half adder delays. For high speed final addition we use a reduced carry generation and propagation scheme called pseudo carry look-ahead adder. Furthermore, the optimum value of the radix is presented through the trade-off between the operating frequency and the throughput for given Silicon technology. We have verified 1,024-bit RSA processor using Altera FPGA EP2K1500E device and Samsung 0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$ technology. In case of the radix-16 modular multiplication algorithm, (n+4+1)/4 clock cycles are needed and the 1,024-bit modular exponentiation is performed in 5.38ms at 50MHz.

최근 IT 기술의 급격한 발전으로 개인정보, 환경 등 다양한 정보를 수시로 수집 및 관리하면서 사용자가 원할시 즉각적인 정보서비스를 제공하고 있다. 그러나 유 무선상의 데이터 전송은 정보의 도청, 메시지의 위 변조 및 재사용, DoS(Denial of Service)등 외부의 공격으로부터 쉽게 노출된다. 이러한 외부 공격은 개인 프라이버시를 포함한 정보서비스 시스템 전반에 치명적인 손실을 야기 시킬 수 있기 때문에 정보보호 시스템의 필요성은 갈수록 그 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 현재까지 정보보호 시스템은 소프트웨어(S/W), 하드웨어(ASIC), FPGA(Field Progr- ammable Array) 디바이스를 이용하여 구현되었으며, 각각의 구현방법은 여러 가지 문제점이 있으며 그에 따른 해결방법이 제시되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 환경에서의 정보보호 서비스를 제공하기 위한 재구성형 SoC 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 SoC는 비밀키 암호알고리즘(AES), 암호학적 해쉬(SHA-256), 공개키 암호알고리즘(ECC)을 수행 할 수 있으며, 마스터 콘트롤러에 의해 제어된다. 또한 정보보호 시스템이 요구하는 다양한 제약조건(속도, 면적, 안전성, 유연성)을 만족하기 위해 S/W, ASIC, FPGA 디바이스의 모든 장점을 최대한 활용하였으며, MCU와의 효율적인 통신을 위한 I/O 인터페이스를 제안한다. 따라서 제안된 정보보호 시스템은 기존의 시스템보다 다양한 정보보호 알고리즘을 지원할 뿐만 아니라 속도 및 면적에 있어 상충 관계를 개선하였기 때문에 저비용 응용뿐만 아니라 고속 통신 장비 시스템에도 적용이 가능하다.

In general communication system is composed of processor subsystems, I/O processor subsystems and data storage device subsystems those are classified as their functions. In order to improve the data reliability, all subsystems are redundant. Storage device keeps the operational information such as system related information and charging information, and such informations must be stored in non-volatile memory. Flash memory and battery backup memory are commonly used as the non-volatile storage devices. But such kind of memories are expensive per unit capacity and data can't be restored when lost while not being backed up. In this paper we develop a redundant storage device to store a lot of data safely and reliably in communication system. The device consists of micro-controller, FPGA and hard disk It provides many functions those are rebuilding, automatic remapping, host service and remote host service. Also it is designed to provide host service while rebuilding is being done in order not to interrupt the communication services. The developed device can be used instead of expensive storage device like flash memory in various communication systems.

As the technology of SoC design has been developed, the debugging is more and more important and users want a fast and reliable debugger. This paper deals with an implementation of the fast debugger which can reduce a debugging processing cycle by designing a modified JTAG suitable for a new RISC processor debugger. Designed JTAG is embedded to the OCD of Core-A and works with SW debugger. We confirmed the functions and reliability of the debugger. By comparing to the original JTAG system, the debugging processing cycle of the proposed JTAG is reduced at 8.5~72.2% by each debugging function. Further more, the gate count is reduced at 31.8%.

This paper presents the implementation result of the EEG(electroencephalogram) signal transmission protocol and its test platform. EEG measured by a dry-type electrode is directly converted into digital signal by ADC(analog-to-digital converter). Thereafter it is transferred DSP(digital signal processor) platform by $I^2C$(inter-integrated circuit) protocol. DSP conducts the pre-processing of EEG and extracts feature vectors of EEG. In this work, we implement the $I^2C$ protocol with 16 channels by using 10 or 12-bit ADC. In the implementation results, the overhead ratio for the 4 bytes data burst transmission measures 2.16 and the total data rates are 345.6 kbps and 414.72 kbps with 10-bit and 12-bit 1 ksps ADC, respectively. Therefore, in order to support a high speed mode of $I^2C$ for 400 kbps, it is required to use 16:1 and $(8:1){\times}2$ ratios for slave:master in 10-bit ADC and 12-bit ADC, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to develop and verify a precision transmission error measurement system for a gear pair. The transmission error measurement system of the gear pair was developed as a measurement unit, signal processing unit, and signal analysis unit. The angular displacement for calculating the transmission error of the gear pair was measured using an encoder. The signal amplification, interpolation, and transmission error calculation of the measured angular displacement were conducted using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and a real-time processor. A high-pass filter (HPF) was applied to the calculated transmission error from the real-time processor. The transmission error measurement test was conducted using a gearbox, including the master gear pair. The same test was repeated three times in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions, respectively, according to the load conditions (0 - 200 N·m). The results of the gear transmission error tests showed similar tendencies, thereby confirming the stability of the system. The measured transmission error was verified by comparing it with the transmission error analyzed using commercial software. The verification showed a slight difference in the transmission error between the methods. In a future study, the measurement and analysis method of the developed precision transmission error measurement system in this study may possibly be used for gear design.

This paper presents the trade-off relationship between area and performance in the hardware design space exploration for the Korean national standard 128-bit block cipher algorithm SEED. In this paper, we compare the following four hardware design types of SEED algorithm : (1) Design 1 that is 16 round fully pipelining approach, (2) Design 2 that is a one round looping approach, (3) Design 3 that is a G function sharing and looping approach, and (4) Design 4 that is one round with internal 3 stage pipelining approach. The Design 1, Design 2, and Design 3 are the existing design approaches while the Design 4 is the newly proposed design in this paper. Our new design employs the pipeline between three G-functions and adders consisting of a F function, which results in the less area requirement than Design 2 and achieves the higher performance than Design 2 and Design 3 due to pipelining and module sharing techniques. We design and implement all the comparing four approaches with real hardware targeting FPGA for the purpose of exact performance and area analysis. The experimental results show that Design 4 has the highest performance except Design 1 which pursues very aggressive parallelism at the expanse of area. Our proposed design (Design 4) shows the best throughput/area ratio among all the alternatives by 2.8 times. Therefore, our new design for SEED is the most efficient design comparing with the existing designs.

In recent years, the security of hardware and software systems is one of the most essential factor of our safe network community. As elliptic Curve Cryptosystems proposed by N. Koblitz and V. Miller independently in 1985, require fewer bits for the same security as the existing cryptosystems, for example RSA, there is a net reduction in cost size, and time. In this thesis, we propose an efficient hardware architecture of underlying field arithmetic processor for Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems, and a very useful method for implementing the architecture, especially multiplicative inverse operator over GF$GF (2^m)$ onto FPGA and futhermore VLSI, where the method is based on optimized unit operation components. We optimize the arithmetic processor for speed so that it has a resonable number of gates to implement. The proposed architecture could be applied to any finite field $F_{2m}$. According to the simulation result, though the number of gates are increased by a factor of 8.8, the multiplication speed We optimize the arithmetic processor for speed so that it has a resonable number of gates to implement. The proposed architecture could be applied to any finite field $F_{2m}$. According to the simulation result, though the number of gates are increased by a factor of 8.8, the multiplication speed and inversion speed has been improved 150 times, 480 times respectively compared with the thesis presented by Sarwono Sutikno et al. [7]. The designed underlying arithmetic processor can be also applied for implementing other crypto-processor and various finite field applications.
