Due to the rapid growth in digital contents, it is important for us to design a high speed and secure encryption algorithm which is able to comply with the existing and future needs. This paper proposes an alternative approach for self-decimated LM-128 summation sequence generator, which will generate a higher throughput if compared to the conventional generator. We design and implement a threshold clock-controlled LM-128 and prove that it has a lower clock cycle and hence giving a higher key stream generation speed. The proposed threshold clock-control LM-128 generator consists of 256 bits inner state with 128 bits secret key and initialization vector. The cipher achieves a security level of 128 bits to be adapted to the digital contents security with high definition and high quality.

In this paper, we propose the PingPong-128(PP-128) keystream generator, based on summation generator. Proposed PingPong-128, a specific cipher of the PingPong Family, takes 128 bits key and 128 bit initial vector, has 258 bit internal state, and achieves a security level of 128 bits. The security analysis of PingPong-128 is presented, including the resistence to known attacks against the summation generator and other clock-controlled generators.

A Boolean function generates a binary sequence which is frequently used in a stream cipher. There are number of critical concepts which a Boolean function, as a key stream generator in a stream cipher, satisfies. These are nonlinearity, correlation immunity, balancedness, SAC (strictly avalanche criterion), PC (propagation criterion) and so on. In this paper we construct an algorithm for finding the correlation immune order of a Boolean function, and check how long to find the correlation immune order of a given Boolean function in our algorithm.

In this paper a high speed architecture of the RC4 stream cipher is proposed and its FPGA implementation is presented. Compared to the conventional RC4 designs which have long initialization operation or use double or triple S-arrays to reduce latency delay due to S-array initialization phase, the proposed architecture for RC4 stream cipher eliminates the S-array initialization operation using 256-bit valid entry scheme and supports 40/128-bit key lengths with efficient modular arithmetic hardware. The proposed RC4 stream cipher is implemented using Xilinx XCV1000E-6H240C FPGA device. The designed RC4 stream cipher has about a throughput of 106 Mbits/sec at 40 MHz clock and thus can be applicable to WEP processor and RC4 key search processor.

In Digital Right Management, symmetric cipher is used for content encryption to reduce encryption cost, AES, advanced encryption standard is usually used to multimedia encryption under desktop environment because of its reasonable security level and computation cost. But mobile handheld device often uses slow speed processor and operates under battery-powered environment. Therefore it requires low computation cost and low energy consumption. This paper proposes new stream cipher scheme which combines pseudo random number generator(PRNG) and dynamically generated permutations. Proposed scheme activates PRNG and generates original key streams. Then it generates extended key streams by applying permutation to original sequence. These extended key streams are XORed with plaintext and generate ciphertext. Proposed scheme reduces the usage of PRNG. Therefore this scheme is fast and consumes less energy in comparison with normal stream cipher. Especially, this scheme shows great speed up (almost 2 times) than normal stream cipher scheme in random access.

MIFARE Classic is the most popular contactless smart card, which is primarily used in the management of access control and public transport payment systems. It has several security features such as the proprietary stream cipher Crypto 1, a challenge-response mutual authentication protocol, and a random number generator. Unfortunately, multiple studies have reported structural flaws in its security features. Furthermore, various attack methods that target genuine MIFARE Classic cards or readers have been proposed to crack the card. From a practical perspective, these attacks can be partitioned according to the attacker's ability. However, this measure is insufficient to determine the optimal attack flow due to the refined random number generator. Most card-only attack methods assume a predicted or fixed random number, whereas several commercial cards use unpredictable and unfixable random numbers. In this paper, we propose optimal MIFARE Classic attack procedures with regards to the type of random number generator, as well as an adversary's ability. In addition, we show actual attack results from our portable experimental setup, which is comprised of a commercially developed attack device, a smartphone, and our own application retrieving secret data and sector key.

A high-quality pseudorandom sequence generation is an important part of many cryptographic applications, including encryption protocols. Therefore, a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) is an essential element for generating key sequences in a cryptosystem. A PRNG must effectively generate a large, high-quality random data stream. It is well known that the bitstreams output by the CA-based PRNG are more random than the bitstreams output by the LFSR-based PRNG. In this paper, we prove that the complemented CA derived from 90/150 maximum length cellular automata(MLCA) is a MLCA to design a PRNG that can generate more secure bitstreams and extend the key space in a secret key cryptosystem. Also we give a method for calculating the cell positions outputting a nonlinear sequence with maximum period in complemented MLCA derived from a 90/150 MLCA and a complement vector.

With the degradation of water quality and, at the same time increased water usage, the sources of high quality, for examples, river/stream, municipal reservoir, wells, artisan and surface water, are diminishing. Therefore, the importance of water quality has been emphasized over the years through publications and various literature sources. Even though considerable research has resulted in significant strides for providing interpretive information and mitigation strategies for improvement of waters, the quality of which is still questionable. This study aims to propose a completely independent self-contained system for purifying waters, solar-powered ozone generator. It is a semi-permanent and cost effective environmental solution. Functions of ozone treatment are: 1) to maintain oxidative flexibility, 2) remove harmful chemicals, wastes, and other substances, and 3) prevent epizootic microbial outbreaks. Recent advances in technology have allowed the development of the practical, self-contained and independent solar powered device. Solar electrical producing panels that charge batteries are the key to using these systems anywhere electrical power is not available. This paper invites the readers to examine the problem and consider the viable, proven solution the solar powered ozone purifying system. This paper also introduces basic concept and background of solar powered ozone generators and examine its feasibility for improving water quality in rivers and streams.

The discretized tent map circuit which provides the feedback circuit for generating the period-8 states relevant to the 8-bit finite precision is also designed and presented in this paper. Furthermore, it might be used stream cipher system with a new key-stream circuit for generate of chaotic binary sequence.

In this paper, we measure data security in CDMA system. If we know the [42/4]${\times}4$+[42/4]${\times}4$ bits of output sequences of key stream generator, we can find log code mask bits and orthogonal output sequences. So this paper showes us the necessity of data security algorithm in CDMA system.
