The stream cipher Salsa20 and its reduced versions are among the fastest stream ciphers available today. However, Salsa20/7 is broken and Salsa20/12 is not as safe as before. Therefore, Salsa20 must completely perform all of the four rounds of encryption to achieve a good diffusion in order to resist the known attacks. In this paper, a new variant of Salsa20 that uses the chaos theory and that can achieve diffusion faster than the original Salsa20 is presented. The method has been tested and benchmarked with the original Salsa20 with a series of tests. Most of the tests show that the proposed chaotic Salsa of two rounds is faster than the original four rounds of Salsa20/4, but it offers the same diffusion level.

최근 유럽연합의 eSTREAM 공모사업에서 소프트웨어 분야에 선정된 Salsa20/12 알고리즘은 제한된 메모리의 8비트 MCU 상에서 AES보다 우수한 성능을 보여주는 스트림 암호이다. 또한 이론적 분석에 따르면 시차분석공격에 대한 취약성은 없으며, 전력분석 공격의 어려움에 대해서는 하위수준(low)로 평가되었으나, 현재까지 실제 전력분석 공격의 연구 결과가 발표된 바 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 소프트웨어 기반 Salsa20/12 에 대한 상관도 전력분석 공격 방법을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 실험을 위해서 프로그래밍이 가능한 8비트 RISC 계열의 AVR 마이크로프로세서 (ATmega128L)를 장착한 실험보드에 전력분석 공격의 대응방법이 적용되지 않은 시스템을 구현하고, 해밍무게 모델을 적용한 전력분석 공격을 실시하였다.

Reliance on the Internet has introduced Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to various security threats. A reliable security protocol and an authentication scheme are thus required to prevent the aforementioned threats. However, an authentication scheme often demands additional cost and effort. Accordingly, a security framework for known participants in VoIP communication is proposed in this paper. The framework is known as Randomness-Optimized Self-Securing (ROSS), which performs authentication automatically throughout the session by optimizing the uniqueness and randomness of the communication itself. Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key exchange and Salsa20 stream cipher are utilized in the framework correspondingly to secure the key agreement and the communication with low computational cost. Human intelligence supports ROSS authentication process to ensure participant authenticity and communication regularity. The results show that with marginal overhead, the proposed framework is able to secure VoIP communication by performing reliable authentication.
