A Secure Hardware Implementation for Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm

Since the end of the 1990s,cryptosystems implemented on smart cards have had to deal with two main categories of attacks:side-channel attacks and fault injection attacks.Countermeasures have been developed and validated against these two types of attacks,taking into account a well-defined attacker model.This work focuses on small vulnerabilities and countermeasures related to the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm(ECDSA)algorithm.The work done in this paper focuses on protecting the ECDSA algorithm against fault-injection attacks.More precisely,we are interested in the countermeasures of scalar multiplication in the body of the elliptic curves to protect against attacks concerning only a few bits of secret may be sufficient to recover the private key.ECDSA can be implemented in different ways,in software or via dedicated hardware or a mix of both.Many different architectures are therefore possible to implement an ECDSA-based system.For this reason,this work focuses mainly on the hardware implementation of the digital signature ECDSA.In addition,the proposed ECDSA architecture with and without fault detection for the scalar multiplication have been implemented on Xilinxfield programmable gate arrays(FPGA)platform(Virtex-5).Our implementation results have been compared and discussed.Our area,frequency,area overhead and frequency degradation have been compared and it is shown that the proposed architecture of ECDSA with fault detection for the scalar multiplication allows a trade-off between the hardware overhead and the security of the ECDSA.

A Low-Cost and High-Performance Cryptosystem Using Tripling-Oriented Elliptic Curve

Developing a high-performance public key cryptosystem is crucial for numerous modern security applications.The Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem(ECC)has performance and resource-saving advantages compared to other types of asymmetric ciphers.However,the sequential design implementation for ECC does not satisfy the current applications’performance requirements.Therefore,several factors should be considered to boost the cryptosystem performance,including the coordinate system,the scalar multiplication algo-rithm,and the elliptic curve form.The tripling-oriented(3DIK)form is imple-mented in this work due to its minimal computational complexity compared to other elliptic curves forms.This experimental study explores the factors playing an important role in ECC performance to determine the best combi-nation that leads to developing high-speed ECC.The proposed cryptosystem uses parallel software implementation to speed up ECC performance.To our knowledge,previous studies have no similar software implementation for 3DIK ECC.Supported by using parallel design,projective coordinates,and a fast scalar multiplication algorithm,the proposed 3DIK ECC improved the speed of the encryption process compared with other counterparts and the usual sequential implementation.The highest performance level for 3DIK ECC was achieved when it was implemented using the Non-Adjacent Form algorithm and homogenous projection.Compared to the costly hardware implementations,the proposed software implementation is cost effective and can be easily adapted to other environments.In addition,the power con-sumption of the proposed ECC is analyzed and compared with other known cryptosystems.thus,the current study presents a detailed overview of the design and implementation of 3DIK ECC.

Secure and efficient elliptic curve cryptography resists side-channel attacks

An embedded cryptosystem needs higher reconfiguration capability and security. After analyzing the newly emerging side-channel attacks on elliptic curve cryptosystem （ECC）, an efficient fractional width-w NAF （FWNAF） algorithm is proposed to secure ECC scalar multiplication from these attacks. This algorithm adopts the fractional window method and probabilistic SPA scheme to reconfigure the pre-computed table, and it allows designers to make a dynamic configuration on pre-computed table. And then, it is enhanced to resist SPA, DPA, RPA and ZPA attacks by using the random masking method. Compared with the WBRIP and EBRIP methods, our proposals has the lowest total computation cost and reduce the shake phenomenon due to sharp fluctuation on computation performance.

RGB Based Multiple Share Creation in Visual Cryptography with Aid of Elliptic Curve Cryptography

In visual cryptography, many shares are generated which are illogical containing certain message within themselves. When all shares are piled jointly, they tend to expose the secret of the image. The notion of visual secret sharing scheme is to encrypt a secret image into n illogical share images. It is unable to reveal any data on the original image if at least one of the shares is not achieved. The original image, in fact, is realized by overlapping the entire shares directly, in order that the human visual system is competent to identify the collective secret image without employing any complicated computational tools. Therefore, they are communicated steadily as number of shares. The elliptic curve cryptography approach, in turn, is employed to augment the privacy and safety of the image. The new.fangled technique is utilized to generate the multiple shares which are subjected to encryption and decryption by means of the elliptic curve cryptography technique. The test outcomes have revealed the fact that the peak signal to noise ratio is 58.0025, Mean square error value is 0.1164 and the correlation coefficient is 1 for the decrypted image without any sort of distortion of the original image.

The tremendous development of cloud computing with related technol-ogies is an unexpected one.However,centralized cloud storage faces few chal-lenges such as latency,storage,and packet drop in the network.Cloud storage gets more attention due to its huge data storage and ensures the security of secret information.Most of the developments in cloud storage have been positive except better cost model and effectiveness,but still data leakage in security are billion-dollar questions to consumers.Traditional data security techniques are usually based on cryptographic methods,but these approaches may not be able to with-stand an attack from the cloud server's interior.So,we suggest a model called multi-layer storage(MLS)based on security using elliptical curve cryptography(ECC).The suggested model focuses on the significance of cloud storage along with data protection and removing duplicates at the initial level.Based on divide and combine methodologies,the data are divided into three parts.Here,thefirst two portions of data are stored in the local system and fog nodes to secure the data using the encoding and decoding technique.The other part of the encrypted data is saved in the cloud.The viability of our model has been tested by research in terms of safety measures and test evaluation,and it is truly a powerful comple-ment to existing methods in cloud storage.

Comparative Evaluation of Elliptic Curve Cryptography Based Homomorphic Encryption Schemes for a Novel Secure Multiparty Computation

In this paper, we focus on Elliptic Curve Cryptography based approach for Secure Multiparty Computation (SMC) problem. Widespread proliferation of data and the growth of communication technologies have enabled collaborative computations among parties in distributed scenario. Preserving privacy of data owned by parties is crucial in such scenarios. Classical approach to SMC is to perform computation using Trusted Third Party (TTP). However, in practical scenario, TTPs are hard to achieve and it is imperative to eliminate TTP in SMC. In addition, existing solutions proposed for SMC use classical homomorphic encryption schemes such as RSA and Paillier. Due to the higher cost incurred by such cryptosystems, the resultant SMC protocols are not scalable. We propose Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) based approach for SMC that is scalable in terms of computational and communication cost and avoids TTP. In literature, there do exist various ECC based homomorphic schemes and it is imperative to investigate and analyze these schemes in order to select the suitable for a given application. In this paper, we empirically analyze various ECC based homomorphic encryption schemes based on performance metrics such as computational cost and communication cost. We recommend an efficient algorithm amongst several selected ones, that offers security with lesser overheads and can be applied in any application demanding privacy.

DEFENSE AGAINST COLLUSION SCHEME BASED ON ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are being deployed for a wide variety of applications and the security problems of them have received considerable attention. Considering the limitations of power, computation capability and storage resources, this paper proposed an efficient defense against collusion scheme based on elliptic curve cryptography for wireless sensor networks in order to solve the problems that sensor node-key leaking and adversaries make compromised nodes as their collusions to launch new attack. In the proposed scheme, the group-key distribution strategy is employed to compute the private key of each sensor node, and the encryption and decryption algorithms are constructed based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). The command center (node) only needs to broadcast a controlling header with three group elements, and the authorized sensor node can correctly recover the session key and use it to decrypt the broadcasting message. Analysis and proof of the proposed scheme's efficiency and security show that the proposed scheme can resist the k-collusion attack efficiently.
