We propose versatile hardware framework for ECC. The framework supports arithmetic operations over P-256, Ed25519 and Curve25519 curves, enabling easy implementation of various ECC algorithms. Framework finds its application area e.g. in FIDO2 attestation or in nowadays rapidly expanding field of hardware wallets. As the design is intended to be ASIC-ready, we designed it to be area efficient. Hardware units are reused for calculations in several finite fields, and some of them are superior to previously designed circuits in terms of time-area product. The framework implements several attack countermeasures. It enables implementation of certain countermeasures even in later stages of design. The design was validated on SoC FPGA.

Security troubles of restricted sources communications are vital. Existing safety answers aren't sufficient for restricted sources gadgets in phrases of Power Area and Ef-ficiency‘. Elliptic curves cryptosystem (ECC) is area efficent for restricted sources gadgets extra than different uneven cryp-to systems because it gives a better safety degree with equal key sizes compared to different present techniques. In this paper, we studied a lightweight hybrid encryption technique that makes use of set of rules primarily based totally on AES for the Plain text encription and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) protocol for Key encryption. The simplicity of AES implementation makes it light weight and the complexity of ECDH make it secure. The design is simulated using Spyder Tool, Modelsim and Implemented using Xilinx Vivado the effects display that the proposed lightweight Model offers a customary security degree with decreased computing capacity. we proposed a key authentication system for enhanced security along with an Idea to implement the project with multimedia input on FPGA

In recent times, security and privacy concerns associated with IoT devices have caught the attention of research community. The problem of securing IoT devices is immensely aggravating due to advancement in technology. These IoT devices are resource-constraint i.e. in terms of power, memory, computation, etc., so they are less capable to secure themselves. So we need a better approach to secure IoT devices within the limited resources. Several studies state that for these lightweight IoT devices Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) suits perfectly. But there are several elliptic curve domain parameter standards, which may be used for different security levels. When any ECC based product is deployed then the selection of a suitable elliptic curve standard according to usability is become very important. So we have to choose one suitable standard domain parameter for the required security level. In this paper, two different elliptic curve standard domain parameters named secp256k1 and secp192k1 proposed by an industry consortium named Standards for Efficient Cryptography Group (SECG) [1] are implemented and then analyzed their performances metrics. The performance of each domain parameter is measured in computation time.

The world is facing a new revolutionary technology transition, Internet of things (IoT). IoT systems requires secure connectivity of distributed entities, including in-field sensors. For such external devices, Side Channel Analysis poses a potential threat as it does not require complete knowledge about the crypto algorithm. In this work, we perform Horizontal Correlation Power Analysis (HCPA) which is a type of Side Channel Analysis (SCA) over the Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) key exchange protocol. ChipWhisperer (CW) by NewAE Technologies is an open source toolchain which is utilized to perform the HCPA by using CW toolchain. To best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to implemented ECDH on Artix-7 FPGA for HCPA. We compare our correlation results with the results from AES -128 bits provided by CW. Our point of attack is the Double and Add algorithm which is used to perform Scalar multiplication in ECC. We obtain a maximum correlation of 7% for the key guess using the HCPA. We also discuss about the possible cause for lower correlation and few potentials ways to improve it. In Addition to HCPA we also perform Simple Power Analysis (SPA) (visual) for ECDH, to guess the trailing zeros in the 128-bit secret key for different power traces.

The development of mobile internet has brought convenience to people, but the openness and diversity of mobile Internet make it face the security threat of communication privacy data disclosure. In this paper, a trusted android device security communication method based on TrustZone is proposed. Firstly, Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement algorithm is used to make both parties negotiate the session key in the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), and then, we stored the key safely in the TEE. Finally, TEE completes the encryption and decryption of the transmitted data. This paper constructs a secure communication between mobile devices without a trusted third party and analyzes the feasibility of the method from time efficiency and security. The experimental results show that the method can resist malicious application monitoring in the process of data encryption and ensures the security of the session key. Compared with the traditional scheme, it is found that the performance of the scheme is not significantly reduced.

This study examines the secure transition for robotic surgery session. Surgeon sends set of instructions as data. The data is encapsulated with surgeon secure signature to conform surgeon identity. At the same time, patient information sends to the surgeon as a secure row of frames to estimate patient situation dependent on the real medical reports. Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman is use as an asymmetric encryption method. Here the session between surgeon console and interactive robot arm was achieved and supported with four secret keys. Two private keys are chosen on each side and two public keys are calculated from these private keys. These results indicate that the level of the security was improved by use asymmetric encryption rather than symmetric encryption. And by contributed four secret keys the patient information must be safer.
