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.…”

Dynamic spectrum allocation based on one-band multi-winner auction by Wen-zhu ZHANG, Ling-yun WANG

“…In order to improve the effectiveness of traditional auction in DSA (dynamic spectrum allocation) issue in cognitive radio networks,a new dynamic spectrum allocation algorithm based on one-band multi-winner auction was proposed.Compared with the original greedy algorithm,the new algorithm can achieve better spectrum allocation solutions with lower computational complexity by introducing the multiple greedy strategy.It increases the seller's revenue by improving the VCG (vickery-clarke-groves) mechanism,while retaining the dominant strategy incentive compatible property.In addition,it suppresses the occurrence of collusion effectively.Simulation results show that the algorithm proposed can get spectrum allocation efficiency close to the optimal solution and increase the auction revenue significantly.…”
