Two-factor wearable device authentication protocol based on PUF and IPI by Jun WANG, Shu-bo LIU, Cai LIANG, Yong-kai LI

“…Wearable device is pushing the rapid development of mobile health,however,the open architecture of wireless body area network has brought challenges for the security of user data.In order to protect the security of user data,a two-factor authentication protocol between device note and data hub was proposed based on physically unclonable function and interpulse interval.Using dual uniqueness of device physical characteristic and user biometric trait,the protocol can resist compromise and impersonation attacks and was specially suitable for resource constrained wearable devices under body area network.Compared with the existing authentication schemes,the security of the proposed protocol was enhanced.The practicability and effectiveness of the protocol are confirmed by hardware implementation on FPGA.…”

Research on area-efficient low-entropy masking scheme for AES by Jiuxing JIANG, Jiao HOU, Hai HUANG, Yuying ZHAO, Xinxin FENG

“…Based on the rotating S-box masking (RSM) proposed by Nassar et al,a low-entropy masking scheme for the advanced encryption standard (AES) was proposed.Reducing the area complexity by reusing the S-boxes,improving the hardware security by shuffling operation and improving the throughput by pipelining operation were the main idea of the proposed scheme.For the AES,the number of S-boxes could be reduced from 16 to 4 (key expansion module wasn’t included).Compared with the RSM,the combinational logic,the dedicated logic and the memory size are reduced to 69%,60% and 80% respectively.In addition,the theoretical analysis shows that the proposed scheme can resist offset based CPA attack,thus has higher security than the RSM.…”
