In this paper we study the structures and properties of a single cycle T-finction, whose theory has been lately proposed by Klimov and Shamir. Any cryptographic system based on T-functions may be insecure. Some of the TSC-series stream ciphers have been successfully attacked by some attacks. So it is important to analyze every aspect of a single cycle T-function. We study some properties on a single cycle T-function and we show some examples are single cycle T-functions by these properties, whose proof is easier than existing methods.

In Windows operating system, CSPs(Cryptographic Service Providers) are provided for offering a easy and convenient way of using an various cryptographic algorithms to applications. The applications selectively communicate with various CSPs through a set of functions known as the Crypto API(Cryptographic Application Program Interface). During this process, a secure method, accessing data using a handle, is used in order to prevent analysis of the passing parameters to function between CryptoAPI and CSPs. In this paper, our experiment which is using a novel memory traceback method proves that still there is a vulnerability of private key and secret key disclosure in spite of the secure method above-mentioned.

Pseudorandom numbers are useful in cryptographic operations for using as nonce, initial vector, secret key, etc. Security of the cryptosystem relies on the secret key parameters, so a good pseudorandom number is needed. In this paper, we have proposed a new approach for generation of pseudorandom number. This method uses the three dimensional combinational puzzle Rubik Cube for generation of random numbers. The number of possible combinations of the cube approximates to 43 quintillion. The large possible combination of the cube increases the complexity of brute force attack on the generator. The generator uses cryptographic hash function. Chaotic map is being employed for increasing random behavior. The pseudorandom sequence generated can be used for cryptographic applications. The generated sequences are tested for randomness using NIST Statistical Test Suite and other testing methods. The result of the tests and analysis proves that the generated sequences are random.

This paper proposed VCR cryptographic algorithm that adapted in TCP/IP protocol architecture and wire/wireless communication network environments. we implemented by hardware chip level because proposed VCR cryptographic algorithm perform scalable & reconfigurable operations into the security system. Proposed VCR cryptographic algorithm strengthens security vulnerability of TCP/IP protocol and is very profitable real-time processing and encipherment of high-capacity data and multi-user communication because there is important purpose to keep security about many user as that have variable round numbers function in network environments.

IPSec authentication provides support for data integrity and authentication of IP packets. Authentication is based on the use of a message authentication code(MAC). Hash function algorithm is used to produce MAC , which is referred to HMAC. In this paper, we propose a cryptographic accelerator using FPGA implementations. The accelator consists of a hash function mechanism based on MD5 algorithm, and a public-key generator based on a Elliptiv Curve algorithm with small scale of circuits. The accelator provides a messsage authentification as well as a digital signature. Implementation results show the proposed cryptographic accelerator can be applied to IPSec authentications.

Cryptographic hash functions reduce inputs of arbitrary or very large length to a short string of fixed length. All hash function designs start from a compression function with fixed length inputs. The compression function itself is designed from scratch, or derived from a block cipher or a permutation. The most common procedure to extend the domain of a compression function in order to obtain a hash function is a simple linear iteration; however, some variants use multiple iterations or a tree structure that allows for parallelism. This paper presents a survey of 17 extenders in the literature. It considers the natural question whether these preserve the security properties of the compression function, and more in particular collision resistance, second preimage resistance, preimage resistance and the pseudo-random oracle property.

In this paper, we show the design requirements of the cryptographic module and its security algorithm designed to prevent the exposure of the command signal applied to Flight Termination System. The cryptographic module consists of two separate devices that are Command Insertion Device and Command Generation Device. The cryptographic module designed to meet the 3 principles(Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability) for the information security. AES-256 block encryption algorithm and SHA-256 Hash function were applied to the encrypted symmetric key encryption method. The proposed cryptographic module is expected to contribute to the security and reliability of the Flight Termination System for Space Launch Vehicle.

The security of personal informations has been an important issue since the field of smart card applications has been expanded explosively. The security of smart card is based on cryptographic algorithms, which are highly required to be implemented into hardware for higher speed and stronger security. In this paper, a SEED cryptographic processor is designed by employing one round key generation block which generates 16 round keys without key registers and one round function block which is used iteratively. Both the round key generation block and the F function are using only one G function block with one 5${\times}$l MUX sequentially instead of 5 G function blocks. The proposed SEED processor has been implemented such that each round operation is divided into seven sub-rounds and each sub-round is executed per clock. Functional simulation of the proposed cryptographic processor has been executed using the test vectors which are offered by Korea Information Security Agency. In addition, we have evaluated the proposed SEED processor by executing VHDL synthesis and FPGA board test. The die area of the proposed SEED processor decreases up to approximately 40% compared with the conventional processor.

Parallel processing in block cryptographic algorithm is difficult, because Feistel structure that is basis structure of block cryptographic algorithm is sequential processing structure. Therefore this paper changes these sequential processing structure and Feistel structure made parallel processing to be possible. This paper that apply this modified structure designed DES that have parallel Feistel structure. Proposed parallel Feistel structure could prove greatly block cryptographic algorithm's performance such as DES and so on that could not but have trade-off relation the data processing speed and data security interval because block cryptographic algorithm can not use pipeline method because of itself structural problem. Therefore, modified Feistel structure is going to display more superior security function and processing ability of high speed than now in case apply way that is proposed to SEED, AES's Rijndael, Twofish etc. that apply Feistel structure.

Bitcoin (BTC) is a type of cryptocurrency that supports transaction/payment of virtual money between BTC users without the presence of a central authority or any third party like bank. It uses some cryptographic techniques namely public- and private-keys, digital signature and cryptographic-hash functions, and they are used for making secure transactions and maintaining distributed public ledger called blockchain. In BTC system, each transaction signed by sender is broadcasted over the P2P (Peer-to-Peer) Bitcoin network and a set of such transactions collected over a period is hashed together with the previous block/other values to form a block known as candidate block, where the first block known as genesis-block was created independently. Before a candidate block to be the part of existing blockchain (chaining of blocks), a computation-intensive hard problem needs to be solved. A number of miners try to solve it and a winner earns some BTCs as inspiration. The miners have high computing and hardware resources, and they play key roles in BTC for blockchain formation. This paper mainly analyses the underlying cryptographic techniques, identifies some weaknesses and proposes their enhancements. For these, two modifications of BTC are suggested ― (i) All BTC users must use digital certificates for their authentication and (ii) Winning miner must give signature on the compressed data of a block for authentication of public blocks/blockchain.
