A new CPA resistant software implementation for symmetric ciphers with smoothed power consumption: SIMON case study

Software Implementation and Experimentation with a New Genetic Algorithm for Layout Design

This paper discusses the development of a new GA for layout design. The GA was already designed and reported. However the implementation used in the earlier work was rudimentary and cumbersome, having no suitable Graphical User Interface, GUI. This paper discusses the intricacies of the algorithm and the GA operators used in previous work. It also reports on implementation of a new GA operator ...

IPcore implementation susceptibility: A case study of Low latency ciphers

Security evaluation of third-party cryptographic IP (Intellectual Property) cores is often ignored due to several reasons including, lack of awareness about its adversity, lack of trust validation methodology otherwise view security as a byproduct. Particularly, the validation of low latency cipher IP core on Internet of Things (IoT) devices is crucial as they may otherwise become vulnerable fo...

A New Statistical Testing for Symmetric Ciphers and Hash Functions

SIMON Says, Break the Area Records for Symmetric Key Block Ciphers on FPGAs

While AES is extensively in use in a number of applications, its area cost limits its deployment in resource constrained platforms. In this paper, we have implemented SIMON, a recent promising low-cost alternative of AES on reconfigurable platforms. The Feistel network, the construction of the round function and the key generation of SIMON, enables bit-serial hardware architectures which can si...

Software Implementation And Evaluation Of Lightweight Symmetric Block Ciphers Of The Energy Perspectives And Memory

Lightweight ciphers are the form of encryption that strictly limited to devices such as tags, RFID, wireless sensor networks applications. Low-resource devices has many limitations in power, energy and memory. In this work, the lightweight block ciphers is implemented on the Atmega128 microprocessor and the results of the energy perspectives and memory were assessed. The results of the evaluati...

Proposing a new model for assessing the resilience of susceptible infrastructure (case study: hydroelectric power plant)

Background and objective: Given the high share of energy production by hydropower plants in Iran and the weaknesses of the resilience and protection model in this area, the importance of providing a model based on concepts such as؛ Expresses dependencies, correlations, risk management and analysis. In this paper, a new method for measuring the resilience of an energy infrastructure is presented...
