CCproc: An Efficient Cryptographic Coprocessor

چکیده
In this paper we introduce CCproc, a symmetric-key cryptographic (co)processor with a custom instruction set optimized for cryptographic applications. We study ten popular crypto algorithms, and provide custom solutions for them, while we also offer general support for future encryption algorithms. We design a custom but simple datapath able to execute the proposed instruction set and analyze its performance, proving to be competitive with other general purpose (but not custom) approaches, while having very small implementation cost.

CCproc: A Custom VLIW Cryptography Co-processor for Symmetric-Key Ciphers
In this paper, we present CCProc, a flexible cryptography coprocessor for symmetric-key algorithms. Based on an extensive analysis of many symmetric-key ciphers, including the five AES finalists, we designed an Instruction Set Architecture tailored to symmetric-key ciphers and built a hardware processor prototype by using the VHDL language. The design was mapped on FPGAs and ASIC. Results show ...
متن کاملHydra: An Energy-Efficient Programmable Cryptographic Coprocessor Supporting Elliptic-Curve Pairings over Fields of Large Characteristics
Bilinear pairings on elliptic curves have many applications in cryptography and cryptanalysis. Pairing computation is more complicated compared to that of other popular public-key cryptosystems. Efficient implementation of cryptographic pairing, both softwareand hardware-based approaches, has thus received increasing interest. In this paper, we focus on hardware implementation and present the d...
متن کاملEnhanced FPGA Implementation of the Hummingbird Cryptographic Algorithm
Abstract. Hummingbird is a novel ultra-lightweight cryptographic algorithm aiming at resource-constrained devices. In this work, an enhanced hardware implementation of the Hummingbird cryptographic algorithm for low-cost Spartan-3 FPGA family is described. The enhancement is due to the introduction of the coprocessor approach. Note that all Virtex and Spartan FPGAs consist of many embedded memo...
متن کاملDeveloping Efficient Blinded Attribute Certificates on Smart Cards via Pairings
This paper describes an elementary protocol to prove possession of anonymous credentials together with its implementation on smart cards. The protocol uses self-blindable attribute certificates represented as points on an elliptic curve (which are stored on the card). These certificates are verified on the reader-side via a bilinear pairing. Java Card smart cards offer only very limited access ...
متن کاملHyperelliptic Curve Coprocessors on a FPGA
Cryptographic algorithms are used in a large variety of different applications to ensure security services. It is, thus, very interesting to investigate various implementation platforms. Hyperelliptic curve schemes are cryptographic primitives to which a lot of attention was recently given due to the short operand size compared to other algorithms. They are specifically interesting for special-...
