  • Our approach permits to capitalize the expert's knowledge as business rules by using an agent-based platform. The objective of our approach is to allow experts to manage the daily evolutions of business domains without having to use a technician, and to allow them to be implied, and to participate in the development of the application to accomplish the daily tasks of their work. Therefore, the manipulation of an expert's knowledge generates the need for information security and other associated technologies. The notion of cryptography has emerged as a basic concept in business rules modeling. The purpose of this paper is to present a cryptographic algorithm based approach to integrate the security aspect in business rules modeling. We propose integrating an agent-based approach in the framework. This solution utilizes a security agent with domain ontology. This agent applies an encryption/decryption algorithm to allow for the confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of the most important rules. To increase the security of these rules, we used hybrid cryptography in order to take advantage of symmetric and asymmetric algorithms. We performed some experiments to find the best encryption algorithm, which provides improvement in terms of response time, space memory, and security.

  • Due to the widespread use of mobile devices, smartphone penetration and usage rate continue to increase and there is also an increasing amount of data that need to be stored and managed in applications. Therefore, recent applications use mobile databases to store and manage user data. Realm database, developed in 2014, is attracting more attention from developers because of advantages of continuous updating, high speed, low memory usage, simplicity and readability of the code. It also supports an encryption to provide confidentiality and integrity of personal information stored in the database. However, since the encryption can be used as an anti-forensic technique, it is necessary to analyze the encryption and decryption processes provided by Realm Database. In this paper, we analyze the structure of Realm Database and its encryption and decryption process in detail, and analyze an application that supports an encryption to propose the use cases of the Realm Database.

  • A lot of Internet of Things devices has resource-restricted environment, so it is difficult to implement the existing block ciphers such as AES, PRESENT. By this reason, there are lightweight block ciphers, such as SIMON, SPECK, and Simeck, support various block/key sizes. These lightweight block ciphers can support the security on the IoT devices. In this paper, we propose efficient implementation methods and performance results for the Simeck family block cipher proposed in CHES 2015 on an 8-bit ATmega128-based STK600 board. The proposed methods can be adapted in the 8-bit microprocessor environment such as Arduino series which are one of famous devices for IoT application. The optimized on-the-fly (OTF) speed is on average 14.42 times faster and the optimized OTF memory is 1.53 times smaller than those obtained in the previous research. The speed-optimized encryption and the memory-optimized encryption are on average 12.98 times faster and 1.3 times smaller than those obtained in the previous studies, respectively.

  • Recently, a storage media is becoming smaller and storage capacity is also becoming larger than before. However, important data was leaked through a small storage media. To solve these serious problem, many security companies manufacture secure USBs with secure function, such as data encryption, user authentication, not copying data, and management system for secure USB, etc. But various attacks, such as extracting flash memory from USBs, password hacking or memory dump, and bypassing fingerprint authentication, have appeared. Therefore, security techniques related to secure USBs have to concern many threats for them. The basic components for a secure USB are secure authentication and data encryption techniques. Though existing secure USBs applied password based user authentication, it is necessary to develop more secure authentication because many threats have appeared. And encryption chipsets are used for data encryption however we also concern key managements. Therefore, this paper suggests mutual device authentication based on PUF (Physical Unclonable Function) between USBs and the authentication server and key management without storing the secret key. Moreover, secure USB is systematically managed with metadata and authentication information stored in authentication server.

  • White-box cryptography can respond to white-box attacks that can access and modify memory by safely hiding keys in the lookup table. However, because the size of lookup tables is large and the speed of encryption is slow, it is difficult to apply them to devices that require real-time while having limited resources, such as IoT(Internet of Things) devices. In this work, we propose a scheme for collecting short-length plaintexts and processing them at once, utilizing the characteristics that white-box ciphers process encryption on a lookup table size basis. As a result of comparing the proposed method, assuming that the table sizes of the Chow and XiaoLai schemes were 720KB(Kilobytes) and 18,000KB, respectively, memory usage reduced by about 29.9% and 1.24% on average in the Chow and XiaoLai schemes. The latency was decreased by about 3.36% and about 2.6% on average in the Chow and XiaoLai schemes, respectively, at a Traffic Load Rate of 15 Mbps(Mega bit per second) or higher.

  • As big-data and cloud security technologies become popular, many researchers have recently been conducted on faster and lighter encryption. As a result, National Security Research Institute developed LEA which is lightweight and fast block cipher. To date, there have been various studies on lightweight encryption algorithm (LEA) for speeding up using GPU rather than conventional CPU. However, it is rather difficult to explore any guideline how to manipulate the GPU for the efficient usage of the LEA. Therefore, we introduce a guideline which explains how to implement and design the optimal LEA using GPU.

  • When a cryptographic device such as smart card performs an encryption for a plain text, an attacker can extract the secret key in it using side channel information. Especially, many researches found some weaknesses for side channel attack on the lightweight block cipher LEA designed to apply in IoT environments. In this paper, we survey several masking countermeasures to defeat the side channel attack and propose a novel masking conversion method. Even though the proposed Arithmetic-to-Boolean masking conversion method requires storage memory of 256 bytes, it can improve the LEA encryption speed up to 17 percentage compared to the case adopted the previous masking method.

  • We implemented a cryptoprocessor with a on-the-fly key scheduler which performs forward key scheduling for encryption and reverse key scheduling for decryption. This scheduler makes the fast generation of the key value and eliminates the memory for software key scheduler. The 128-bit Rijndael processor is implemented based on the proposed architecture using Verilog-HDL and targeted to Xilinx XCV1000E FPGA device. As a result, the 128-bit Rijndael operates at 38.8MHz with on-the-fly key scheduler and consumes 11 cycles for encryption and decryption resulting in a throughput of 451.5Mbps
