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.…”

“…The analysis of technologies and circuit solutions allowed to draw the following conclusions: protection of IoT solutions includes: security of IoT network nodes and their connection to the cloud using secure protocols, ensuring confidentiality, authenticity and integrity of IoT data by cryptographic methods, attack analysis and network cryptographic stability; the initial basis for the protection of IoT solutions is the true randomness of the formed RNG sequences and used in algorithms for cryptographic transformation of information to protect it; feature of IoT devices is their heterogeneity and geographical distribution, limited computing resources and power supply, small size; The most effective (reduce power consumption and increase the generation rate) for use in IoT devices are RNG exclusively on a digital basis, which implements a three-stage process: the initial digital circuit, normalizer and random number flow generator; Autonomous Boolean networks (ABN) allow to create RNG with unique characteristics: the received numbers are really random, high speed – the number can be received in one measure, the minimum power consumption, miniature, high (up to 3 GHz) throughput of Boolean chaos; a promising area of ABN development is the use of optical logic valves for the construction of optical ABN with a bandwidth of up to 14 GHz; the classification of known classes of RNG attacks includes: direct cryptanalytic attacks, attacks based on input data, attacks based on the disclosure of the internal state of RNG, correlation attacks and special attacks; statistical test packages to evaluate RNG sequences have some limitations or shortcomings and do not replace cryptanalysis; Comparison of cryptoaccelerators with cryptographic transformation software shows their significant advantages: for AES block encryption algorithm, speeds increase by 10-20 times in 8/16-bit cryptoaccelerators and 150 times in 32-bit, growth hashing of SHA-256 in 32-bit cryptoaccelerators more than 100 times, and for the NMAS algorithm - up to 500 times. …”
