Embedded systems are deployed in various domains, including industrial installations,
critical and nomadic environments, private spaces and public infrastructures. Their operation …

We present a new tweakable block cipher family SKINNY, whose goal is to compete with
NSA recent design SIMON in terms of hardware/software performances, while proving in …

Authenticated encryption satisfies the basic need for authenticity and confidentiality in our
information infrastructure. In this paper, we provide the specification of Ascon-128 and …

Evoked by the increasing need to integrate side-channel countermeasures into security-
enabled commercial devices, evaluation labs are seeking a standard approach that enables …

We propose a new 64-bit blockcipher Piccolo supporting 80 and 128-bit keys. Adopting
several novel design and implementation techniques, Piccolo achieves both high security …

Side-channel attacks can break mathematically secure cryptographic systems leading to a
major concern in applied cryptography. While the cryptanalysis and security evaluation of …

Traditionally, countermeasures against physical attacks are integrated into the
implementation of cryptographic primitives after the algorithms have been designed for …

Our contribution is twofold: first we describe a very compact hardware implementation of
AES-128, which requires only 2400 GE. This is to the best of our knowledge the smallest …

Implementations of cryptographic algorithms are vulnerable to Side Channel Analysis
(SCA). To counteract it, masking schemes are usually involved which randomize key …

Differential power analysis (DPA) is a side-channel attack in which an adversary retrieves
cryptographic material by measuring and analyzing the power consumption of the device on …
