The Simon and Speck families of block ciphers were designed specifically to offer security
on constrained devices, where simplicity of design is crucial. However, the intended use …

Abstract The US National Security Agency (NSA) developed the SIMON and SPECK families
of lightweight block ciphers as an aid for securing applications in very constrained …

In this paper, first, a broad overview of existing covert channel communication-based
security attacks is provided. Such covert channels establish a communication link between …

Security of sensitive data exchanged between devices is essential. Low-resource devices
(LRDs), designed for constrained environments, are increasingly becoming ubiquitous …

Design of ultralightweight but secure encryption engine is a key challenge for Internet-of-
Things edge devices. This paper explores the system level design space for an ultralow …

This study presents a high throughput field‐programmable gate array (FPGA)
implementation of advanced encryption standard‐128 (AES‐128). AES is a well‐known …

Probing attacks are serious threats on integrated circuits. Security products often include a
protective layer called shield that acts like a digital fence. In this article, we demonstrate a …

Abstract Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) represents a serious threat to the security of millions
of smart devices that form part of the so-called Internet of Things (IoT). Choosing the “right” …

As networking has become major innovation driver for the Internet of Things as well as
Networks on Chips, the need for effective cryptography in hardware is on a steep rise. Both …

This paper describes biometric-based cryptographic techniques for providing confidential
communications and strong, mutual and multifactor authentication on the Internet of Things …
