A hardware implementation of ultra-lightweight block cipher algorithm PRESENT that was specified as a block cipher standard for lightweight cryptography ISO/IEC 29192-2 is described in this paper. Two types of crypto-core that support master key size of 80-bit are designed, one is for encryption-only function, and the other is for encryption and decryption functions. The designed PR80 crypto-cores implement the basic cipher mode of operation ECB (electronic code book), and it can process consecutive blocks of plaintext/ciphertext without reloading master key. The PR80 crypto-cores were designed in soft IP with Verilog HDL, and they were verified using Virtex5 FPGA device. The synthesis results using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library show that the encryption-only core has 2,990 GE and the encryption/decryption core has 3,687 GE, so they are very suitable for IoT security applications requiring small gate count. The estimated maximum clock frequency is 500 MHz for the encryption-only core and 444 MHz for the encryption/decryption core.

Uses can share information and use resources effectively by using TCP/IP-based networks. So, a protocol to manage complex networks effectively is needed. For the management of the distributed networks, the SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol) has been adopted as an international standard in 1989, and the SNMPv2 in which a security function was added was published in 1993. There are two encryption schemes in SNMPv2, the one is a DES using symmetric encryption scheme and the other is a MD5(Message Digest5) hash function for authentication. But the DES has demerits that a key length is a few short and the encryption and the authentication is executed respectively. In order to solve these problems, wer use a RSA cryptography in this paper. In this paper, we examine the items related with SNMP. In addition to DES and MD5 propose in SNMPv3, we chance security functionality by adopting RSA, a public key algorithm executing the encryption and the authentication simultaneously. The proposed SNMPv3 security module is written in JAVA under Windows NT environment.

This paper presents the trade-off relationship between area and performance in the hardware design space exploration for the Korean national standard 128-bit block cipher algorithm SEED. In this paper, we compare the following four hardware design types of SEED algorithm : (1) Design 1 that is 16 round fully pipelining approach, (2) Design 2 that is a one round looping approach, (3) Design 3 that is a G function sharing and looping approach, and (4) Design 4 that is one round with internal 3 stage pipelining approach. The Design 1, Design 2, and Design 3 are the existing design approaches while the Design 4 is the newly proposed design in this paper. Our new design employs the pipeline between three G-functions and adders consisting of a F function, which results in the less area requirement than Design 2 and achieves the higher performance than Design 2 and Design 3 due to pipelining and module sharing techniques. We design and implement all the comparing four approaches with real hardware targeting FPGA for the purpose of exact performance and area analysis. The experimental results show that Design 4 has the highest performance except Design 1 which pursues very aggressive parallelism at the expanse of area. Our proposed design (Design 4) shows the best throughput/area ratio among all the alternatives by 2.8 times. Therefore, our new design for SEED is the most efficient design comparing with the existing designs.
