Software and hardware co-design of lightweight authenticated ciphers ASCON for the internet of things by Jing WANG, Lesheng HE, Zhonghong LI, Luchi LI, Hang YANG

“…ASCON was the most promising algorithm to become an international standard in the 2021 NIST lightweight authenticated encryption call for proposals.The algorithm was designed to achieve the best performance in IoT resource-constrained environments, and there was no hardware IP core implementation based on this algorithm in the open literature.A software-hardware collaborative implementation method of ASCON was proposed, which improved the speed and reduced the memory footprint of ASCON in IoT security authentication applications through hardware means such as S-box optimization, prior calculation and advanced pipeline design.As a comparison, ASCON has been transplanted on the common IoT embedded processor platform.The results showed that the described method was more than 7.9 times faster, while the memory footprint was reduced by at least 90%.The schemes can be used for the design and implementation of IoT security application-specific integrated circuits or SoCs.…”

GRU-based multi-scenario gait authentication for smartphones by Qi JIANG, Ru FENG, Ruijie ZHANG, Jinhua WANG, Ting CHEN, Fushan WEI

“…At present, most of the gait-based smartphone authentication researches focus on a single controlled scenario without considering the impact of multi-scenario changes on the authentication accuracy.The movement direction of the smartphone and the user changes in different scenarios, and the user’s gait data collected by the orientation-sensitive sensor will be biased accordingly.Therefore, it has become an urgent problem to provide a multi-scenario high-accuracy gait authentication method for smartphones.In addition, the selection of the model training algorithm determines the accuracy and efficiency of gait authentication.The current popular authentication model based on long short-term memory (LSTM) network can achieve high authentication accuracy, but it has many training parameters, large memory footprint, and the training efficiency needs to be improved.In order to solve the above problems a multi-scenario gait authentication scheme for smartphones based on Gate Recurrent Unit (GRU) was proposed.The gait signals were preliminarily denoised by wavelet transform, and the looped gait signals were segmented by an adaptive gait cycle segmentation algorithm.In order to meet the authentication requirements of multi-scenario, the coordinate system transformation method was used to perform direction-independent processing on the gait signals, so as to eliminate the influence of the orientation of the smartphone and the movement of the user on the authentication result.Besides, in order to achieve high-accuracy authentication and efficient model training, GRUs with different architectures and various optimization methods were used to train the gait model.The proposed scheme was experimentally analyzed on publicly available datasets PSR and ZJU-GaitAcc.Compared with the related schemes, the proposed scheme improves the authentication accuracy.Compared with the LSTM-based gait authentication model, the training efficiency of the proposed model is improved by about 20%.…”
