In the last few decades, the relative simplicity of the logistic map made it a widely accepted point in the consideration of chaos, which is having the good properties of unpredictability, sensitiveness in the key values and ergodicity. Further, the system parameters fit the requirements of a cipher widely used in the field of cryptography, asymmetric and symmetric key chaos based cryptography, and for pseudorandom sequence generation. Also, the hardware-based embedded system is configured on FPGA devices for high performance. In this paper, a novel stream cipher using chaotic logistic map is proposed. The two chaotic logistic maps are coded using Verilog HDL and implemented on commercially available FPGA hardware using Xilinx device: XC3S250E for the part: FT256 and operated at frequency of 62.20 MHz to generate the non-recursive key which is used in key scheduling of pseudorandom number generation (PRNG) to produce the key stream. The realization of proposed cryptosystem in this FPGA device accomplishes the improved efficiency equal to 0.1186 Mbps/slice. Further, the generated binary sequence from the experiment is analyzed for X-power, thermal analysis, and randomness tests are performed using NIST statistical.

The secure hash algorithm (SHA)-3 has been selected in 2012 and will be used to provide security to any application which requires hashing, pseudo-random number generation, and integrity checking. This algorithm has been selected based on various benchmarks such as security, performance, and complexity. In this paper, in order to provide reliable architectures for this algorithm, an efficient concurrent error detection scheme for the selected SHA-3 algorithm, i.e., Keccak, is proposed. To the best of our knowledge, effective countermeasures for potential reliability issues in the hardware implementations of this algorithm have not been presented to date. In proposing the error detection approach, our aim is to have acceptable complexity and performance overheads while maintaining high error coverage. In this regard, we present a low-complexity recomputing with rotated operands-based scheme which is a step-forward toward reducing the hardware overhead of the proposed error detection approach. Moreover, we perform injection-based fault simulations and show that the error coverage of close to 100% is derived. Furthermore, we have designed the proposed scheme and through ASIC analysis, it is shown that acceptable complexity and performance overheads are reached. By utilizing the proposed high-performance concurrent error detection scheme, more reliable and robust hardware implementations for the newly-standardized SHA-3 are realized.
