Security for 1000 Gate Equivalents

چکیده
Product piracy and counterfeiting is a market with an annual turnover of hundreds of billions of US-Dollars. The application of RFID-tags is discussed widely to cope with this problem. A major obstacle for a mass deployment of RFID-tags, beside the harsh requirements on power consumption, are fabrication costs. In hardware fabrication costs are proportional to the required area. In this paper we present three different architectures of the present algorithm. Our implementation of the serialized architecture requires only 1000 GE. To the best of our knowledge this is the smallest hardware implementation of a cryptographic algorithm with a moderate security level.

Ultra-Lightweight Implementations for Smart Devices - Security for 1000 Gate Equivalents
In recent years more and more security sensitive applications use passive smart devices such as contactless smart cards and RFID tags. Cost constraints imply a small hardware footprint of all components of a smart device. One particular problem of all passive smart devices such as RFID tags and contactless smart cards are the harsh power constraints. On the other hand, active smart devices have...
متن کاملPiccolo: An Ultra-Lightweight Blockcipher
We propose a new 64-bit blockcipher Piccolo supporting 80 and 128-bit keys. Adopting several novel design and implementation techniques, Piccolo achieves both high security and notably compact implementation in hardware. We show that Piccolo offers a sufficient security level against known analyses including recent related-key differential attacks and meet-in-the-middle attacks. In our smallest...
متن کاملHigher-Order Threshold Implementation of the AES S-Box
In this paper we present a threshold implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard’s S-box which is secure against firstand second-order power analysis attacks. This security guarantee holds even in the presence of glitches, and includes resistance against bivariate attacks. The design requires an area of 7849 Gate Equivalents and 126 bits of randomness per S-box execution. The implementat...
متن کاملSecure FPGA Design by Filling Unused Spaces
Nowadays there are different kinds of attacks on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). As FPGAs are used in many different applications, its security becomes an important concern, especially in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Hardware Trojan Horse (HTH) insertion is one of the major security threats that can be implemented in unused space of the FPGA. This unused space is unavoidable to ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Power Constraints for Cryptographic Algorithms in Mid-Cost RFID Tags
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems can be found in wide spread applications – from simple theft prevention over multi bit transponders up to complex applications involving contactless smartcards. This paper shows that the security gap between low-cost RFID Tags that only provide simple security features and contactless smartcards can be filled. It is examined how much energy a passiv...
