Bidirectional authentication key agreement protocol supporting identity’s privacy preservation based on RLWE by Yatao YANG, Xinguang HAN, Jierun HUANG, Yang ZHAO

“…In order to solve the problem of identity privacy preservation between two participants involved when implementing authenticated key agreement protocol,a bidirectional authenticated key agreement protocol against quantum attack based on C commitment scheme was proposed.Through the design of C commitment function,the real identity information of two participants involved was hidden.Based on RLWE difficult problem,under the premise to ensure identity anonymity,this protocol not only completed two-way identity authentication,but also ensured the integrity of the transmitted message,furthermore,the shared session key was negotiated.After been analyzed,in terms of protocol’s execution efficiency,only two rounds of message transmission were needed to complete anonymous two-way authentication and key agreement in the proposed scheme.Compared with Ding’s protocol,the length of public key was reduced by nearly 50%.With regard to security,the protocol could resist forgery,replay,key-copy,and man-in-the-middle attacks.It is proved that the proposed protocol satisfies the provable security under the eCK model.At the same time,the protocol is based on the RLWE problem of lattices,and can resist quantum computing attacks.…”

A Domain-Specific Architecture for Elementary Function Evaluation by Anuroop Sharma, Christopher Kumar Anand

“…We propose a Domain-Specific Architecture for elementary function computation to improve throughput while reducing power consumption as a model for more general applications: support fine-grained parallelism by eliminating branches, and eliminate the duplication required by coprocessors by decomposing computation into instructions which fit existing pipelined execution models and standard register files. Our example instruction architecture (ISA) extension supports scalar and vector/SIMD implementations of table-based methods of calculating all common special functions, with the aim of improving throughput by (1) eliminating the need for tables in memory, (2) eliminating all branches for special cases, and (3) reducing the total number of instructions. …”
