“…The reason why we only used this board for our measurements is because the behavior of the cryptographic primitives used is the same for the different ARM Cortex-M architectures, as shown for example in [ 19 ]. Timing measurements are made using the Data Watchpoint and Trace (DWT) unit of the microcontroller.…”

To enable today’s industrial automation, a significant number of sensors and actuators are required. In order to obtain trust and isolate faults in the data collected by this network, protection against authenticity fraud and nonrepudiation is essential. In this paper, we propose a very efficient symmetric-key-based security mechanism to establish authentication and nonrepudiation among all the nodes including the gateway in a distributed cooperative network, without communicating additional security parameters to establish different types of session keys. The solution also offers confidentiality and anonymity in case there are no malicious nodes. If at most one of the nodes is compromised, authentication and nonrepudiation still remain valid. Even if more nodes get compromised, the impact is limited. Therefore, the proposed method drastically differs from the classical group key management schemes, where one compromised node completely breaks the system. The proposed method is mainly based on a hash chain with multiple outputs defined at the gateway and shared with the other nodes in the network.

“…Enhancing the performance of a KECCAK circuit implemented in embedded circuits is a significant challenge. Currently, the KECCAK algorithm is used in a wide range of applications requiring high security, such as smart cards and mobile communication [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Consequently, there is a need to enhance the KECCAK algorithm’s resilience against multiple physical attacks, such as fault attacks.…”

The hash function KECCAK integrity algorithm is implemented in cryptographic systems to provide high security for any circuit requiring integrity and protect the transmitted data. Fault attacks, which can extricate confidential data, are one of the most effective physical attacks against KECCAK hardware. Several KECCAK fault detection systems have been proposed to counteract fault attacks. The present research proposes a modified KECCAK architecture and scrambling algorithm to protect against fault injection attacks. Thus, the KECCAK round is modified so that it consists of two parts with input and pipeline registers. The scheme is independent of the KECCAK design. Iterative and pipeline designs are both protected by it. To test the resilience of the suggested detection system approach fault attacks, we conduct permanent as well as transient fault attacks, and we evaluate the fault detection capabilities (99.9999% for transient faults and 99.999905% for permanent faults). The KECCAK fault detection scheme is modeled using VHDL language and implemented on an FPGA hardware board. The experimental results show that our technique effectively secures the KECCAK design. It can be carried out with little difficulty. In addition, the experimental FPGA results demonstrate the proposed KECCAK detection scheme’s low area burden, high efficiency and working frequency.

Hash functions are an essential mechanism in today’s world of information security. It is common practice to utilize them for storing and verifying passwords, developing pseudo-random sequences, and deriving keys for various applications, including military, online commerce, banking, healthcare management, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Among the cryptographic hash algorithms, the Keccak hash function (also known as SHA-3) stands out for its excellent hardware performance and resistance to current cryptanalysis approaches compared to algorithms such as SHA-1 and SHA-2. However, there is always a need for hardware enhancements to increase the throughput rate and decrease area consumption. This study specifically focuses on enhancing the throughput rate of the Keccak hash algorithm by presenting a novel architecture that supplies efficient outcomes. This novel architecture achieved impressive throughput rates on Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices with the Virtex-5, Virtex-6, and Virtex-7 models. The highest throughput rates obtained were 26.151 Gbps, 33.084 Gbps, and 38.043 Gbps, respectively. Additionally, the research paper includes a comparative analysis of the proposed approach with recently published methods and shows a throughput rate above 11.37% Gbps in Virtex-5, 10.49% Gbps in Virtex-6 and 11.47% Gbps in Virtex-7. This comparison allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the novel architecture’s performance and effectiveness in relation to existing methodologies.
