On the Implementation Aspects of Sponge-Based Authenticated Encryption for Pervasive Devices

چکیده
Widespread use of pervasive devices has resulted in security problems which can not be solved by conventional algorithms and approaches. These devices are not only extremely resourceconstrained, but most of them also require high performance – with respect to available resources – in terms of security, speed and latency. Especially for authenticated encryption, such performance can not be achieved with a standard encryption-hash algorithm pair or even a “block cipher mode of operation” approach. New ideas such as permutation-based authenticated encryption have to be explored. This scheme has been made possible by the introduction of sponge functions. Implementation feasibility of such an approach has yet to be explored. In this study, we make such an attempt by implementing the new SpongeWrap authenticated encryption schemes on all existing sponge functions and show that it is possible to realize a low-latency scheme in less than 6K gate equivalents at a throughput of 5 Gbps with a 128-bit claimed security level.

CBEAM: Efficient Authenticated Encryption from Feebly One-Way ϕ Functions
We show how efficient and secure cryptographic mixing functions can be constructed from low-degree rotation-invariant φ functions rather than conventional S-Boxes. These novel functions have surprising properties; many exhibit inherent feeble (Boolean circuit) one-wayness and offer speed/area tradeoffs unobtainable with traditional constructs. Recent theoretical results indicate that even if th...
متن کاملRSPAE: RFID Search Protocol based on Authenticated Encryption
Search protocols are among the main applications of RFID systems. Since a search protocol should be able to locate a certain tag among many tags, not only it should be secure against RFID threats but also it should be affordable. In this article, an RFID-based search protocol will be presented. We use an encryption technique that is referred to as authenticated encryption in order to boost the ...
متن کاملArtemia: a family of provably secure authenticated encryption schemes
Authenticated encryption schemes establish both privacy and authenticity. This paper specifies a family of the dedicated authenticated encryption schemes, Artemia. It is an online nonce-based authenticated encryption scheme which supports the associated data. Artemia uses the permutation based mode, JHAE, that is provably secure in the ideal permutation model. The scheme does not require the in...
متن کاملA new authenticated encryption technique for handling long ciphertexts in memory constrained devices
In authenticated encryption schemes, there are two techniques for handling long ciphertexts while working within the constraints of a low buffer size: Releasing unverified plaintext (RUP) or Producing intermediate tags (PIT). In this paper, in addition to the two techniques, we propose another way to handle a long ciphertext with a low buffer size by storing and releasing only one (generally, o...
