The linearized polynomial fan be regarded as a generalization of the identity function so that the inverse of the linearized polynomial is a generalization of e inverse function. Since the inverse function has so many good cryptographic properties, the inverse of the linearized polynomial is also a candidate of good Boolean functions. In particular, a construction method of vector resilient functions with high algebraic degree was proposed at Crypto 2001. But the analysis about the algebraic degree of the inverse of the linearized Polynomial. Hence we correct the inexact result and give the exact maximal algebraic degree.

We study a subclass of p-ary functions in n variables, denoted by ${\mathcal{A}}_n$, which is a collection of p-ary functions in n variables satisfying a certain condition on the exponents of its monomial terms. Firstly, we completely classify all p-ary (n - 1)-plateaued functions in n variables by proving that every (n - 1)-plateaued function should be contained in ${\mathcal{A}}_n$. Secondly, we prove that if f is a p-ary r-plateaued function contained in ${\mathcal{A}}_n$ with deg f > $1+{\frac{n-r}{4}}(p-1)$, then the highest degree term of f is only a single term. Furthermore, we prove that there is no p-ary r-plateaued function in ${\mathcal{A}}_n$ with maximum degree $(p-1){\frac{n-4}{2}}+1$. As application, we partially classify all (n - 2)-plateaued functions in ${\mathcal{A}}_n$ when p = 3, 5, and 7, and p-ary bent functions in ${\mathcal{A}}_2$ are completely classified for the cases p = 3 and 5.

This paper describes a design of cryptographic processor that implements the AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) block cipher algorithm "Rijndael". To achieve high throughput rate, a sub-pipeline stage is inserted into the round transformation block, resulting that the second half of current round function and the first half of next round function are being simultaneously operated. For area-efficient and low-power implementation, the round block is designed to share the hardware resources in encryption and decryption. An efficient scheme for on-the-fly key scheduling, which supports the three master-key lengths of 128-b/192-b/256-b, is devised to generate round keys in the first sub-pipeline stage of each round processing. The cryptoprocessor designed in Verilog-HDL was verified using Xilinx FPGA board and test system. The core synthesized using 0.35-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS cell library consists of about 25,000 gates. Simulation results show that it has a throughput of about 520-Mbits/sec with 220-MHz clock frequency at 2.5-V supply.-V supply.

In literature, several strong designated verifier signature (SDVS) schemes have been devised using elliptic curve bilinear pairing and map-topoint (MTP) hash function. The bilinear pairing requires a super-singular elliptic curve group having large number of elements and the relative computation cost of it is approximately two to three times higher than that of elliptic curve point multiplication, which indicates that bilinear pairing is an expensive operation. Moreover, the MTP function, which maps a user identity into an elliptic curve point, is more expensive than an elliptic curve scalar point multiplication. Hence, the SDVS schemes from bilinear pairing and MTP hash function are not efficient in real environments. Thus, a cost-efficient SDVS scheme using elliptic curve cryptography with pairingfree operation is proposed in this paper that instead of MTP hash function uses a general cryptographic hash function. The security analysis shows that our scheme is secure in the random oracle model with the hardness assumption of CDH problem. In addition, the formal security validation of the proposed scheme is done using AVISPA tool (Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications) that demonstrated that our scheme is unforgeable against passive and active attacks. Our scheme also satisfies the different properties of an SDVS scheme including strongness, source hiding, non-transferability and unforgeability. The comparison of our scheme with others are given, which shows that it outperforms in terms of security, computation cost and bandwidth requirement.

In this paper, we present a digital authentication technique using content-based watermarking in digital images. To digest the image contents, Hopfield network is employed on the block-based edge image. The Hopfield function extracts the same tit fur similarly looking blocks so that the values are unlikely to change to the innocuous manipulations while being changed far malicious manipulations. By inputting the extracted bit sequence with secret key to the cryptographic hash function, we generate a watermark for each block by seeding a pseudo random number generator with a hash output Therefore, the proposed authentication technique can distinguish between malicious attacks and innocuous attacks. Watermark embedding is based on the block-based spread spectrum method in DCT domain and the strength of watermark is adjusted according to the local statistics of DCT coefficients in a zig-zag scan line in AC subband. The numerical experiments show that the proposed technique is very efficient in the performance of robust authentication.

Cryptographic hash functions are also called one-way functions and they ensure the integrity of communication data and command by detecting or blocking forgery. Also hash functions can be used with other security protocols for signature, authentication, and key distribution. The SHA-1 was widely used until it was found to be cryptographically broken by Wang, et. al, 2005. For this reason, NIST launched the SHA-3 competition in November 2007 to develop new secure hash function by 2012. Many SHA-3 hash functions were proposed and currently in review process. To choose new SHA-3 hash function among the proposed hash functions, there have been many efforts to analyze the cryptographic secureness, hardware/software characteristics on each proposed one. However there are few research efforts on the SHA-3 from the point of power consumption, which is a crucial metric on hardware module. In this paper, we analyze the power consumption characteristics of the SHA-3 hash functions when they are made in the form of ASIC hardware module. Also we propose power efficient hardware architecture on Luffa, which is strong candidate as a new SHA-3 hash function. Our proposed low power architecture for Luffa achieves 10% less power consumption than previous Luffa hardware architecture.

Cryptographic algorithms are used to prevent the illegal manipulation of data. They are divided into public-key cryptosystems and symmetric-key cryptosystems. Public-key cryptosystems require considerable time for encryption and decryption compared to symmetric-key cryptosystem. On the other hand, key management, and delivery are easier for public-key cryptosystems than symmetric-key cryptosystems because different keys are used for encryption and decryption. Furthermore, hash functions are being used very effectively to verify the integrity of the digital content, as they always generate output with a fixed size using the data of various sizes as input. This paper proposes a method using RSA public-key cryptography and a hash function to determine if a digital image is deformed or not and to detect the manipulated location. In the proposed method, the entire image is divided into several blocks, 64×64 in size. The watermark is then allocated to each block to verify the deformation of the data. When deformation occurs, the manipulated pixel will be divided into smaller 4×4 sub-blocks, and each block will have a watermark to detect the location. The safety of the proposed method depends on the security of the cryptographic algorithm and the hash function.

The security key management function is a key element to secure network environment, and many protocols include IPSec, HIP, etc. demand this function. There are two solutions to provide the key management function in the network layer, one is a method for storing security key material in the directory, and the other is a method for storing security key material in DNS. In this paper we present an implementation of key management system by LDAP. We deployed the open source solutions for directory service(OpenLDAP), cryptographic algorithm (FLINT/C), IPSec(FreeS/WAN), and verified the key management system by the encrypted message exchange and the interoperability test by un daemon.

In this paper, we propose some parallel structures of the word-based nonlinear combining functions in word-based stream cipher, high-speed versions of general (bit-based) nonlinear combining functions. Especially, we propose the high-speed structures of popular four kinds in word-based nonlinear combiners using by PS-WFSR (Parallel-Shifting or Parallel-Structured Word-based FSR): m-parallel word-based nonlinear combiner without memory, m-parallel word-based nonlinear combiner with memories, m-parallel word-based nonlinear filter function, and m-parallel word-based clock-controlled function. In addition, we propose an implementation example of the m-parallel word-based DRAGON stream cipher, and determine its cryptographic security and performance.
