  • For efficient implementation of scalar multiplication in Kobliz elliptic curves, Frobenius endomorphism is useful. Instead of binary expansion of scalar, using Frobenius expansion of scalar we can speed up scalar multiplication and so fast scalar multiplication is closely related to the expansion length of integral multipliers. In this paper we propose a new idea to reduce the length of Frobenius expansion of integral multipliers of scalar multiplication, which makes speed up scalar multiplication. By using the element whose norm is equal to a prime instead of that whose norm is equal to the order of a given elliptic curve we optimize the length of the Frobenius expansion. It can reduce more the length of the Frobenius expansion than that of Solinas, Smart.

  • Based on some flaws occurred for implementing a public key cryptosystem in the embedded security device, many side-channel attacks to extract the secret private key have been tried. In spite of the fact that the cryptographic exponentiation is basically composed of a sequence of multiplications and squarings, a new Square Always exponentiation algorithm was recently presented as a countermeasure against side-channel attacks based on trading multiplications for squarings. In this paper, we propose Known Power Collision Analysis and modified Doubling attacks to break the Right-to-Left Square Always exponentiation algorithm which is known resistant to the existing side-channel attacks. And we also present a Collision-based Combined Attack which is a combinational method of fault attack and power collision analysis. Furthermore, we verify that the Square Always algorithm is vulnerable to the proposed side-channel attacks using computer simulation.

  • Recently, a mobile IPv6 binding update protocol using Address Based Keys (BU-ABK) was proposed. This protocol applies Address Based Keys (ABK), generated through identity-based cryptosystem, to enable strong authentication and secure key exchange without any global security infrastructure. However, because it cannot detect that public cryptographic parameters for ABKs are altered or forged, it is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and denial of service attacks. Furthermore, it has heavy burden of managing the public cryptographic parameters. In this paper, we show the weaknesses of BU-ABK and then propose an enhanced BU-ABK (EBU-ABK). Furthermore, we provide an optimization for mobile devices with constraint computational power. The comparison of EBU-ABK with BU-ABK shows that the enhanced protocol achieves strong security while not resulting in heavy computation overhead on a mobile node.

  • Recently, there are rapid development of information and communication and rapid growth of e-business users. Therefore we try to solve security problem on the internet environment which charges from wire internet to wireless internet or wire/wireless internet. Since the wireless mobile environment is limited, researches such as small size, end-to-end and privacy security are performed by many people. Wireless e-business adopts credit card WPP protocol and AIP protocol proposed by ASPeCT. WAP, one of the protocol used by WPP has weakness of leaking out information from WG which conned wire and wireless communication. certification chain based AIP protocol requires a lot of computation time and user IDs are known to others. We propose a Micro-Payment protocol based on credit card. Our protocol use the encryption techniques of the public key with ID to ensure the secret of transaction in the step of session key generation. IDs are generated using ECC based Weil Paring. We also use the certification with hidden electronic sign to transmit the payment result. The proposed protocol solves the privacy protection and Non-repudiation p개blem. We solve not only the safety and efficiency problem but also independent of specific wireless platform. The protocol requires the certification organization attent the certification process of payment. Therefore, other domain provide also receive an efficient and safe service.

  • Among finite filed arithmetic operations, division/inverse is known as a basic operation for public-key cryptosystems over $GF(2^{m})$ and it is computed by performing the repetitive $AB^{2}$ multiplication. This paper presents a digit-serial-in-serial-out systolic architecture for performing the $AB^2$ operation in GF$(2^{m})$. To obtain L×L digit-serial-in-serial-out architecture, new $AB^{2}$ algorithm is proposed and partitioning, index transformation and merging the cell of the architecture, which is derived from the algorithm, are proposed. Based on the area-time product, when the digit-size of digit-serial architecture, L, is selected to be less than about m, the proposed digit-serial architecture is efficient than bit-parallel architecture, and L is selected to be less than about $(1/5)log_{2}(m+1)$, the proposed is efficient than bit-serial. In addition, the area-time product complexity of pipelined digit-serial $AB^{2}$ systolic architecture is approximately $10.9\%$ lower than that of nonpipelined one, when it is assumed that m=160 and L=8. Additionally, since the proposed architecture can be utilized for the basic architecture of crypto-processor and it is well suited to VLSI implementation because of its simplicity, regularity and pipelinability.

  • A threshold decryption scheme is a multi-party public key cryptosystem that allows any sufficiently large subset of participants to decrypt a ciphertext, but disallows the decryption otherwise. When performing a threshold decryption, a third party is often involved to guarantee fairness among the participants. To maintain the security of the protocol as high as possible, it is desirable to lower the level of trust and the amount of information given to the third party. In this paper, we present a threshold decryption scheme which allows the anonymity of the participants as well as the fairness by employing a semi-trusted third party (STTP) which follows the protocol properly with the exception that it keeps a record of all its intermediate computations. Our solution preserves the security and fairness of the previous scheme and reveals no information about the identities of the participants and the plaintext even though an attacker is allowed to access the storage of the STTP.

  • RSA, the most commonly used public-key cryptosystem, is based on the difficulty of factoring very large integers. The fastest known factoring algorithm is the Number Field Sieve(NFS). NFS first chooses two polynomials having common root modulo N and consists of the following four major steps; 1. Polynomial Selection 2. Sieving 3. Matrix 4. Square Root, of which the most time consuming step is the Sieving step. However, in recent years, the importance of the Polynomial Selection step has been studied widely, because one can save a lot of time and memory in sieving and matrix step if one chooses optimal polynomial for NFS. One of the ideal ways of choosing sieving polynomial is to choose two polynomials with same degree. Montgomery proposed the method of selecting two (nonlinear) quadratic sieving polynomials. We proposed two cubic polynomials using 5-term geometric progression.

  • Authentication of videos and images based on the content is becoming an important problem in information security. Unfortunately, previous studies lack the consideration of Kerckhoffs's principle in order to achieve this (i.e., a cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system, except the key, is public knowledge). In this paper, a solution to the problem of finding a relationship between a frame's index and its content is proposed based on the creative utilization of a robust manifold feature. The proposed solution is based on a novel semi-fragile watermarking scheme for H.264/AVC video content authentication. At first, the input I-frame is partitioned for feature extraction and watermark embedding. This is followed by the temporal feature extraction using the Isometric Mapping algorithm. The frame index is included in the feature to produce the temporal watermark. In order to improve security, the spatial watermark will be encrypted together with the temporal watermark. Finally, the resultant watermark is embedded into the Discrete Cosine Transform coefficients in the diagonal positions. At the receiver side, after watermark extraction and decryption, temporal tampering is detected through a mismatch between the frame index extracted from the temporal watermark and the observed frame index. Next, the feature is regenerate through temporal feature regeneration, and compared with the extracted feature. It is judged through the comparison whether the extracted temporal watermark is similar to that of the original watermarked video. Additionally, for spatial authentication, the tampered areas are located via the comparison between extracted and regenerated spatial features. Experimental results show that the proposed method is sensitive to intentional malicious attacks and modifications, whereas it is robust to legitimate manipulations, such as certain level of lossy compression, channel noise, Gaussian filtering and brightness adjustment. Through a comparison between the extracted frame index and the current frame index, the temporal tempering is identified. With the proposed scheme, a solution to the Kerckhoffs's principle problem is specified.

  • As cloud computing is activated, a variety of cloud services are being distributed. However, to use each different cloud service, you must perform a individual user authentication process to service. Therefore, not only the procedure is cumbersome but also due to repeated authentication process performance, it can cause password exposure or database overload that needs to have user's authentication information each cloud server. Moreover, there is high probability of security problem that being occurred by phishing attacks that result from different authentication schemes and input scheme for each service. Thus, when you want to use a variety of cloud service, we proposed OpenID based user authentication scheme that can be applied to a multi-cloud environment by the trusted user's verify ID provider.

  • Recent advances in quantum computer development have raised the issue of the security of RSA and elliptic curve cryptography, which are widely used. In response, the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) is working on the standardization of public key cryptosystem which is secure in the quantum computing environment. Lattice-based cryptography is a typical post-quantum cryptography(PQC), and various lattice-based cryptographic schemes have been proposed for NIST's PQC standardization contest. Among them, EMBLEM proposed a new multi-bit encryption method which is more intuitive and efficient for encryption and decryption phases than the existing LWE-based encryption schemes. In this paper, we propose a multi-bit encryption scheme with improved efficiency using LWR assumption. In addition, we prove the security of our schemes and analyze the efficiency by comparing with EMBLEM and R.EMBLEM.
