This paper describes a hardware implementation of ultra-lightweight block cipher algorithm PRESENT-80/128 that supports for two master key lengths of 80-bit and 128-bit. The PRESENT algorithm that is based on SPN (substitution and permutation network) consists of 31 round transformations. A round processing block of 64-bit data-path is used to process 31 rounds iteratively, and circuits for encryption and decryption are designed to share hardware resources. The PRESENT-80/128 crypto-processor designed in Verilog-HDL was verified using Virtex5 XC5VSX-95T FPGA and test system. The estimated throughput is about 550 Mbps with 275 MHz clock frequency.

With the growing trend of pervasive computing, (the idea that technology is moving beyond personal computers to everyday devices) there is a growing demand for lightweight ciphers to safeguard data in a network that is always available. For all block cipher applications, the AES is the preferred choice. However, devices used in pervasive computing have extremely constraint environment and as such the AES will not be suitable. In this paper we design and implement a new lightweight compact block cipher that takes advantage of both S-P network and the Feistel structure. The cipher uses the S-box of PRESENT algorithm and a key dependent one stage omega permutation network is used as the cipher's P-box. The cipher is implemented on iNEXT-V6 board equipped with virtex-6 FPGA. The design synthesized to 196 slices at 337 MHz maximum clock frequency.

Ultra-lightweight block cipher CHAM, consisting of simple addition, rotation, and eXclusive-or operations, enables the efficient implementations over both low-end and high-end Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. In particular, the CHAM block cipher targets the enhanced computational performance for the low-end IoT platforms. In this paper, we introduce the efficient implementation techniques to minimize the memory consumption and optimize the execution timing over 8-bit AVR IoT platforms. To achieve the higher performance, we exploit the partly iterated expression and arrange the memory alignment. Furthermore, we exploit the optimal number of register and data update. Finally, we achieve the high RANK parameters including 29.9, 18.0, and 13.4 for CHAM 64/128, 128/128, and 128/256, respectively. These are the best implementation results in existing block ciphers.

A hardware implementation of ultra-lightweight block cipher algorithm PRESENT that was specified as a block cipher standard for lightweight cryptography ISO/IEC 29192-2 is described in this paper. Two types of crypto-core that support master key size of 80-bit are designed, one is for encryption-only function, and the other is for encryption and decryption functions. The designed PR80 crypto-cores implement the basic cipher mode of operation ECB (electronic code book), and it can process consecutive blocks of plaintext/ciphertext without reloading master key. The PR80 crypto-cores were designed in soft IP with Verilog HDL, and they were verified using Virtex5 FPGA device. The synthesis results using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library show that the encryption-only core has 2,990 GE and the encryption/decryption core has 3,687 GE, so they are very suitable for IoT security applications requiring small gate count. The estimated maximum clock frequency is 500 MHz for the encryption-only core and 444 MHz for the encryption/decryption core.

LBlock is a 64-bit ultra-light block cipher suitable for the constrained environments such as wireless sensor network environments. In this paper, we propose a differential fault analysis on LBlock. Based on a random nibble fault model, our attack can recover the secret key of LBlock by using the exhaustive search of $2^{25}$ and five random nibble fault injection on average. It can be simulated on a general PC within a few seconds. This result is superior to known differential fault analytic result on LBlock.

Ultra-lightweight password CHAM is an algorithm with efficient addition, rotation and XOR operations on resource constrained devices. CHAM shows high computational performance, especially on IoT platforms. However, lightweight block encryption algorithms used on the Internet of Things may be vulnerable to side channel analysis. In this paper, we demonstrate the vulnerability to side channel attack by attempting a first power analysis attack against CHAM. In addition, a safe algorithm was proposed and implemented by applying a masking technique to safely defend the attack. This implementation implements an efficient and secure CHAM block cipher using the instruction set of an 8-bit AVR processor.

A hardware implementation of ultra-lightweight block cipher algorithm PRESENT which was specified as a standard for lightweight cryptography ISO/IEC 29192-2 is described. The PRESENT crypto-processor supports two key lengths of 80 and 128 bits, as well as four modes of operation including ECB, CBC, OFB, and CTR. The PRESENT crypto-processor has on-the-fly key scheduler with master key register, and it can process consecutive blocks of plaintext/ciphertext without reloading master key. In order to achieve a lightweight implementation, the key scheduler was optimized to share circuits for key lengths of 80 bits and 128 bits. The round block was designed with a data-path of 64 bits, so that one round transformation for encryption/decryption is processed in a clock cycle. The PRESENT crypto-processor was verified using Virtex5 FPGA device. The crypto-processor that was synthesized using a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library has 8,100 gate equivalents(GE), and the estimated throughput is about 908 Mbps with a maximum operating clock frequency of 454 MHz.

ICISC'19에서 기존 CHAM과 동일한 구조와 규격을 갖지만, 라운드 수만 증가시킨 revised CHAM이 발표되었다. CHAM은 사물인터넷에서 사용되는 저사양 프로세서에서 효율적인 구현이 가능한 특징을 갖고 있다. AVR, ARM 프로세서 상에서의 CHAM 암호 알고리즘에 대한 최적 구현은 존재하지만, 아직 RISC-V 프로세서 상에서의 CHAM 구현은 존재하지 않는다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 RISC-V 프로세서 상에서의 Revised CHAM 알고리즘을 최초로 구현을 제안한다. CHAM 라운드 함수의 내부 구조의 일부를 생략하여 최적 구현하였다. 그리고 홀수 라운드와 짝수 라운드를 모듈별로 구현하여 필요에 따라 모듈을 호출하여 손쉽게 사용할 수 있게 하였다. 결과적으로, RISC-V 상에서 제안 기법 적용하기 전보다 제안 기법 적용 후에 12%의 속도 향상을 달성하였다.
