The TWINE is a new Generalized Feistel Structure (GFS) lightweight cryptosystem in the Internet of Things. It has 36 rounds and the key lengths support 80 bits and 128 bits, which are flexible to provide security for the RFID, smart cards and other highly-constrained devices. Due to the strong attacking ability, fast speed, simple implementation and other characteristics, the differential fault analysis has become an important method to evaluate the security of lightweight cryptosystems. On the basis of the 4-bit fault model and the differential analysis, we propose an effective differential fault attack on the TWINE cryptosystem. Mathematical analysis and simulating experiments show that the attack could recover its 80-bit and 128-bit secret keys by introducing 8 faulty ciphertexts and 18 faulty ciphertexts on average, respectively. The result in this study describes that the TWINE is vulnerable to differential fault analysis. It will be beneficial to the analysis of the same type of other iterated lightweight cryptosystems in the Internet of Things.

With the enlargement of wireless technology, vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are rising as a hopeful way to realize smart cities and address a lot of vital transportation problems such as road security, convenience, and efficiency. To achieve data confidentiality, integrity and authentication applying lightweight cryptosystems is widely recognized as a rather efficient approach for the VANETs. The Khudra cipher is such a lightweight cryptosystem with a typical Generalized Feistel Network, and supports 80-bit secret key. Up to now, little research of fault analysis has been devoted to attacking Khudra. On the basis of the single nibble-oriented fault model, we propose a differential fault analysis on Khudra. The attack can recover its 80-bit secret key by introducing only 2 faults. The results in this study will provides vital references for the security evaluations of other lightweight ciphers in the VANETs.

With the advancement and deployment of wireless communication techniques, wireless body area network (WBAN) has emerged as a promising approach for e-healthcare that collects the data of vital body parameters and movements for sensing and communicating wearable or implantable healthful related information. In order to avoid any possible rancorous attacks and resource abuse, employing lightweight ciphers is most effective to implement encryption, decryption, message authentication and digital signature for security of WBAN. As a typical lightweight cryptosystem with an extended sponge function framework, the PHOTON family is flexible to provide security for the RFID and other highly-constrained devices. In this paper, we propose a differential fault analysis to break three flavors of the PHOTON family successfully. The mathematical analysis and simulating experimental results show that 33, 69 and 86 random faults in average are required to recover each message input for PHOTON-80/20/16, PHOTON-160/36/36 and PHOTON-224/32/32, respectively. It is the first result of breaking PHOTON with the differential fault analysis. It provides a new reference for the security analysis of the same structure of the lightweight hash functions in the WBAN.

In this paper we provide a unified crypto core that integrates lightweight symmetric cryptography and authentication. The crypto core implements a unified 128 bit key architecture of PRESENT encryption algorithm and a new lightweight encryption algorithm. The crypto core also consist of an authentication unit which neglects the use of hashing algorithms. Four algorithms are used for authentication which come from the Hopper-Blum (HB) and Hopper-Blum-Munilla-Penado (HB-MP) family of lightweight authentication algorithms: HB, HB+, HB-MP and HB-MP+. A unified architecture of these algorithms is implemented in this paper. The unified cryptosystem is designed using Verilog HDL, simulated with Modelsim SE and synthesized with Xilinx Design Suite 14.3. The crypto core synthesized to 1130 slices at 189Mhz frequency on Spartan6 FPGA device.

In this paper, the design of lightweight S-Box structure for implementing a low power AES cryptosystem based on composite field. In this approach, the S-Box is designed as a simple structure by which the three modules of x², λ, and GF((2²)²) merge into one module for improving the usable area and processing speed on GF(((2²)²)²). The designed AES S-Box is modelled in Veilog-HDL at structural level, and a logic synthesis is also performed through the use of Xilinx ISE 14.7 tool, where Spartan 3s1500l is used as a target FPGA device. It is shown that the designed S-Box is correctly operated through simulation result, where ModelSim 10.3. is used for performing timing simulation.

Internet of Things (IoT) is proliferating to provide more intelligent services by interconnecting various Internet devices, and TCP based MQTT is being used as a standard communication protocol of the IoT. Although it is recommended to use TLS/SSL security protocol for TCP with MQTT-based IoT devices, encryption and decryption performance degenerates when applied to low-specification / low-capacity IoT devices. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end message security protocol using elliptic curve cryptosystem, a lightweight encryption algorithm, which improves performance on both sides of the client and server, based on the simulation of TLS/SSL and the proposed protocol.

The IoT environment provides an infinite variety of services using many different devices and networks. The development of the IoT environment is directly proportional to the level of security that can be provided. In some ways, lightweight cryptography is suitable for IoT environments, because it provides security, higher throughput, low power consumption and compactness. However, it has the limitation that it must form a new cryptosystem and be used within a limited resource range. Therefore, it is not the best solution for the IoT environment that requires diversification. Therefore, in order to overcome these disadvantages, this paper proposes a method suitable for the IoT environment, while using the existing block cipher algorithm, viz. the lightweight cipher algorithm, and keeping the existing system (viz. the sensing part and the server) almost unchanged. The proposed BCL architecture can perform encryption for various sensor devices in existing wire/wireless USNs (using) lightweight encryption. The proposed BCL architecture includes a pre/post-processing part in the existing block cipher algorithm, which allows various scattered devices to operate in a daisy chain network environment. This characteristic is optimal for the information security of distributed sensor systems and does not affect the neighboring network environment, even if hacking and cracking occur. Therefore, the BCL architecture proposed in the IoT environment can provide an optimal solution for the diversified IoT environment, because the existing block cryptographic algorithm, viz. the lightweight cryptographic algorithm, can be used.

유비쿼터스 기술을 실용화함에 있어 가장 요구되는 기술 요소 중의 하나는 유비쿼터스 네트워킹상의 보안 및 암호기술이다. 유비쿼터스 장치들의 제약된 계산능력과 허용되는 네트워킹 대역폭의 한계로 인해 기존 공개키 암호 시스템을 적용하기에 특성화된 암호기술인 초경량 암호시스템이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 공개키 시스템의 특징을 분석하여 유비쿼터스 환경에 적용가능성을 살펴보았고 새롭게 제시된 공개키 시스템들의 특징을 비교하여 경량화에 적합한 암호시스템의 요구조건과 활용 가능성을 예측해보았다.
