This paper describes an efficient hardware design of 128-bit block cipher algorithm LEA(lightweight encryption algorithm). In order to achieve area-efficient and low-power implementation, round block and key scheduler block are optimized to share hardware resources for encryption and decryption. The key scheduler register is modified to reduce clock cycles required for key scheduling, which results in improved encryption/decryption performance. FPGA synthesis results of the LEA processor show that it has 2,364 slices, and the estimated performance for the master key of 128/192/256-bit at 113 MHz clock frequency is about 181/162/109 Mbps, respectively.

Smart card has a small sized micro computer chip. This chip contains processor, RAM, ROM, clock, bus system and crypto-co-processor. Hence it is more expensive, complicated and secure chip compared with RFID tag. The main application area of smart card is e-banking and secure communications. There are two kinds of smart card platforms; open platform and closed one. Java card is the most popular open platform because of its security, platform independency, fast developing cycle. However, the speed of Java card is slower than other ones, hence there have been hot research topics to improve the performance of Java card. In this paper, we propose an efficient transaction buffer management to improve the performance of Java card. The experimental result shows the advantage of our method.

The ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptogrphics), one of the representative Public Key encryption algorithms, is used in Digital Signature, Encryption, Decryption and Key exchange etc. The key operation of an Elliptic curve cryptosystem is a scalar multiplication, hence the design of a scalar multiplier is the core of this paper. Although an Integer operation is computed in infinite field, the scalar multiplication is computed in finite field through adding points on Elliptic curve. In this paper, we implemented scalar multiplier in Elliptic curve based on the finite field $GF(2^{163})$. And we verified it on the Embedded digital system using Xilinx FPGA connected to an EISC MCU(Agent 2000). If my design is made as a chip, the performance of scalar multiplier applied to Samsung $0.35\;{\mu}m$ Phantom Cell Library is expected to process at the rate of 8kbps and satisfy to make up an encryption processor for the Embedded digital information home system.

The more improved the Internet and the information technology, the stronger cryptographic system is required which can satisfy the information security on the platform of personal hand-held devices or smart card system. This paper introduces a case study of designing an elliptic curve cryptographic processor of a high performance that can be suitably used in a wireless communicating device or in an embedded system. To design an efficient cryptographic system, we first analyzed the operation hierarchy of the elliptic curve cryptographic system and then implemented the system by adopting a serial cell multiplier and modified Euclid divider. Simulation result shows that the system was correctly designed and it can compute thousands of operations per a secdond.

Security has become one of the most important requirements for various devices for multi-sensor based embedded systems. The AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm is widely used for security, however, it requires high computing power. In order to reduce the CPU power for the data encryption of images, we propose a new image encryption module using hardware memoization, which can reuse previously generated data. However, as image pixel data are slightly different each other, the reuse rate of the simple memoization system is low. Therefore, we further apply an approximate concept to the memoization system to have a higher reuse rate by sacrificing quality. With the novel technique, the throughput can be highly improved by 23.98% with 14.88% energy savings with image quality loss minimization.

This paper proposes a modular multiplier based on LFSR (Linear Feedback Shift Register) architecture with efficient area complexity over GF(2/sup m/). At first, we examine the modular exponentiation algorithm and propose it's architecture, which is basic module for public-key cryptosystems. Furthermore, this paper proposes on efficient modular multiplier as a basic architecture for the modular exponentiation. The multiplier uses AOP (All One Polynomial) as an irreducible polynomial, which has the properties of all coefficients with '1 ' and has a more efficient hardware complexity compared to existing architectures.

피승수를 승수로 곱하는 곱셈연산은 승수에 대한 많은 부분곱을 더하기 때문에 본질적으로 느린 연산이다. 특히, 큰 수를 사용하는 암호 프로세서에서는 매우 빠른 곱셈기가 요구된다. 현재까지 느린 연산의 개선책으로 radix 4, radix 8, 또는 radix 16의 변형 부스 알고리즘을 사용하여 부분곱의 수를 줄이려는 연구와 더불어 Wallace tree나 병렬 카운터를 사용하여 부분곱의 합을 빠르게 연산하는 방법이 연구되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 암호 프로세서용 64$\times$64 비트 곱셈기를 구현하는데 있어서, 고속의 곱셈을 위하여 고속의 병렬 카운터를 제안하였으며, radix 4의 변형 부스 알고리즘을 이용하여 부분합을 만들고 부분합의 덧셈은 제안한 카운터를 사용하였다. 64$\times$64 비트 곱셈기를 구현함에 있어서 본 논문에서 제안된 카운터를 이용하는 것이 속도 면에서 Wallace scheme또는 Dadda scheme을 적용하여 구현하는 것 보다 31% 정도, Mehta의 카운터를 적용하여 구현하는 것 보다 21% 정도 개선되었다.
