“…GPGPUs are used in cryptography as well as areas including signal processing and artificial intelligence. Numerous studies have been conducted on the parallel implementations of cryptographic algorithms such as AES, ECC, and RSA (Neves & Araujo, 2011;Li et al, 2012;Pan et al, 2016;Ma et al, 2017;Li et al, 2019) and on the acceleration of cryptanalysis, including hash collision attacks using GPUs (Stevens et al, 2017).…”

In cryptosystems and cryptographic modules, insufficient entropy of the noise sources that serve as the input into random number generator (RNG) may cause serious damage, such as compromising private keys. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the entropy of the noise source as precisely as possible. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published a standard document known as Special Publication (SP) 800-90B, which describes the method for estimating the entropy of the noise source that is the input into an RNG. The NIST offers two programs for running the entropy estimation process of SP 800-90B, which are written in Python and C++. The running time for estimating the entropy is more than one hour for each noise source. An RNG tends to use several noise sources in each operating system supported, and the noise sources are affected by the environment. Therefore, the NIST program should be run several times to analyze the security of RNG. The NIST estimation runtimes are a burden for developers as well as evaluators working for the Cryptographic Module Validation Program. In this study, we propose a GPU-based parallel implementation of the most time-consuming part of the entropy estimation, namely the independent and identically distributed (IID) assumption testing process. To achieve maximal GPU performance, we propose a scalable method that adjusts the optimal size of the global memory allocations depending on GPU capability and balances the workload between streaming multiprocessors. Our GPU-based implementation excluded one statistical test, which is not suitable for GPU implementation. We propose a hybrid CPU/GPU implementation that consists of our GPU-based program and the excluded statistical test that runs using OpenMP. The experimental results demonstrate that our method is about 3 to 25 times faster than that of the NIST package.

“…Lightweight ciphers are designed to protect the privacy (confidentiality) of sensitive data on lightweight devices. Up to now, a large number of lightweight ciphers have been proposed, analyzed, and implemented [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Lightweight authenticated encryption (AE) modes of operation, also called lightweight authenticated ciphers, achieve both the privacy protection of sensitive data and the integrity verification of all data on lightweight devices.…”

Lightweight authenticated ciphers are specially designed as authenticated encryption (AE) schemes for resource-constrained devices. Permutation-based lightweight authenticated ciphers have gained more attention in recent years. However, almost all of permutation-based lightweight AE schemes only ensure conventional security, i.e., about c / 2 -bit security, where c is the capacity of the permutation. This may be vulnerable for an insufficiently large capacity. This paper focuses on the stronger security guarantee and the better efficiency optimization of permutation-based lightweight AE schemes. On the basis of APE series (APE, APE R I , APE O W , and APE C A ), we propose a new improved permutation-based lightweight online AE mode APE + which supports beyond conventional security and concurrent absorption. Then, we derive a simple security proof and prove that APE + enjoys at most about min r , c -bit security, where r is the rate of the permutation. Finally, we discuss the properties of APE + on the hardware implementation.

“…Several innovative and inexpensive lightweight ciphers have been introduced to offer solid security. At the moment, notable lightweight block ciphers are recommended, such as PRESENT [3], PRINT [4], EPCBC [5], MIBS [6], LED [7], Piccolo [8], LBlock [9], TWINE [10], KLEIN [11], PRINCE [12], ITUbee [13], RECTANGLE [14], QTL [15], GIFT [16], Skinny [17] and Simon and Speck [18]. The Substitution-Permutation Network (SPNs) and Feistel-type structures are the two main classical designs of these lightweight ciphers.…”

Randomness is an imperative component in every cryptographic algorithm to guarantee secret keys are unpredictable and secured against all forms of attacks. Speck generated sequence is non-random, a clear sign that it falls beyond the acceptable success rate when tested in statistical analysis. Thus, this study resolves the non-randomness by integrating a novel key derivation function that uses elementary operators designed for lightweight application. This design aims not to compromise performance when implemented on software and hardware. As a result, the modified Speck successfully passed the NIST SP 800 - 22 and Dieharder v3.31.0 Statistical Test Analysis as no p-value is flagged as failed during testing. Hence, making modified Speck cryptographically secured. Nevertheless, a 1.06% decrease in the figure of merit of the modified Speck still makes it worthier in a resource-constrained Internet of Things application as contrasted to Speck because it is proven to be beyond cryptographically secured.
