A QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDARD PERFORMANCE AS IT RELATES TO CRYPTOGRAPHIC ATTACK FEASIBILITY A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Computer Science By Daniel Stephen Hawthorne Colorado Technical University December, 2018 Committee Dr. Richard Livingood, Ph.D., Chair Dr. Kelly Hughes, DCS, Committee Member Dr. James O. Webb, Ph.D., Committee Member December 17, 2018 © Daniel Stephen Hawthorne, 2018 1 Abstract The advanced encryption standard (AES) is the premier symmetric key cryptosystem in use today. Given its prevalence, the security provided by AES is of utmost importance. Technology is advancing at an incredible rate, in both capability and popularity, much faster than its rate of advancement in the late 1990s when AES was selected as the replacement standard for DES. Although the literature surrounding AES is robust, most studies fall into either theoretical or practical yet infeasible.

  • Efficient Hashing Using the AES Instruction
    Efficient Hashing Using the AES Instruction Set Joppe W. Bos1, Onur Özen1, and Martijn Stam2 1 Laboratory for Cryptologic Algorithms, EPFL, Station 14, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland {joppe.bos,onur.ozen}@epfl.ch 2 Department of Computer Science, University of Bristol, Merchant Venturers Building, Woodland Road, Bristol, BS8 1UB, United Kingdom [email protected] Abstract. In this work, we provide a software benchmark for a large range of 256-bit blockcipher-based hash functions. We instantiate the underlying blockci- pher with AES, which allows us to exploit the recent AES instruction set (AES- NI). Since AES itself only outputs 128 bits, we consider double-block-length constructions, as well as (single-block-length) constructions based on RIJNDAEL- 256. Although we primarily target architectures supporting AES-NI, our frame- work has much broader applications by estimating the performance of these hash functions on any (micro-)architecture given AES-benchmark results. As far as we are aware, this is the first comprehensive performance comparison of multi- block-length hash functions in software. 1 Introduction Historically, the most popular way of constructing a hash function is to iterate a com- pression function that itself is based on a blockcipher (this idea dates back to Ra- bin [49]). This approach has the practical advantage—especially on resource-constrained devices—that only a single primitive is needed to implement two functionalities (namely encrypting and hashing). Moreover, trust in the blockcipher can be conferred to the cor- responding hash function. The wisdom of blockcipher-based hashing is still valid today. Indeed, the current cryptographic hash function standard SHA-2 and some of the SHA- 3 candidates are, or can be regarded as, blockcipher-based designs.

  • Stream Cipher Designs: a Review
    SCIENCE CHINA Information Sciences March 2020, Vol. 63 131101:1–131101:25 . REVIEW . https://doi.org/10.1007/s11432-018-9929-x Stream cipher designs: a review Lin JIAO1*, Yonglin HAO1 & Dengguo FENG1,2* 1 State Key Laboratory of Cryptology, Beijing 100878, China; 2 State Key Laboratory of Computer Science, Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China Received 13 August 2018/Accepted 30 June 2019/Published online 10 February 2020 Abstract Stream cipher is an important branch of symmetric cryptosystems, which takes obvious advan- tages in speed and scale of hardware implementation. It is suitable for using in the cases of massive data transfer or resource constraints, and has always been a hot and central research topic in cryptography. With the rapid development of network and communication technology, cipher algorithms play more and more crucial role in information security. Simultaneously, the application environment of cipher algorithms is in- creasingly complex, which challenges the existing cipher algorithms and calls for novel suitable designs. To accommodate new strict requirements and provide systematic scientific basis for future designs, this paper reviews the development history of stream ciphers, classifies and summarizes the design principles of typical stream ciphers in groups, briefly discusses the advantages and weakness of various stream ciphers in terms of security and implementation. Finally, it tries to foresee the prospective design directions of stream ciphers.

We look at various existing and proposed AEAD algorithms and compare them both in terms of security and performance. We take a closer look at three selected candidate families of algorithms from the CAESAR competition. Then we discuss common facilities provided by the two most com- mon CPU architectures – x86 and ARM – that can be used to implement cryptographic algorithms efficiently.

  • Low-Complexity Mitigation of Cache Side Channel Attacks
    Non-Monopolizable Caches: Low-Complexity Mitigation of Cache Side Channel Attacks LEONID DOMNITSER, State University of New York at Binghamton AAMER JALEEL, Intel Corporation, VSSAD JASON LOEW, NAEL ABU-GHAZALEH, and DMITRY PONOMAREV, State University of New York at Binghamton We propose a flexibly-partitioned cache design that either drastically weakens or completely eliminates cache-based side channel attacks. The proposed Non-Monopolizable (NoMo) cache dynamically reserves cache lines for active threads and prevents other co-executing threads from evicting reserved lines. Unreserved lines remain available for dynamic sharing among threads. NoMo requires only simple modifications to the cache replacement logic, making it straightforward to adopt. It requires no software support enabling it to automatically protect pre-existing binaries. NoMo results in performance degradation of about 1% on average. We demonstrate that NoMo can provide strong security guarantees for the AES and Blowfish encryption algorithms.

  • The Design of Scalar AES Instruction Set Extensions for RISC-V
    The design of scalar AES Instruction Set Extensions for RISC-V Ben Marshall1, G. Richard Newell2, Dan Page1, Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen3 and Claire Wolf4 1 Department of Computer Science, University of Bristol {ben.marshall,daniel.page}@bristol.ac.uk 2 Microchip Technology Inc., USA [email protected] 3 PQShield, UK [email protected] 4 Symbiotic EDA [email protected] Abstract. Secure, efficient execution of AES is an essential requirement on most computing platforms. Dedicated Instruction Set Extensions (ISEs) are often included for this purpose. RISC-V is a (relatively) new ISA that lacks such a standardised ISE. We survey the state-of-the-art industrial and academic ISEs for AES, implement and evaluate five different ISEs, one of which is novel. We recommend separate ISEs for 32 and 64-bit base architectures, with measured performance improvements for an AES-128 block encryption of 4× and 10× with a hardware cost of 1.1K and 8.2K gates respectivley, when compared to a software-only implementation based on use of T-tables. We also explore how the proposed standard bit-manipulation extension to RISC-V can be harnessed for efficient implementation of AES-GCM. Our work supports the ongoing RISC-V cryptography extension standardisation process. Keywords: ISE, AES, RISC-V 1 Introduction Implementing the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Compared to more general workloads, cryptographic algorithms like AES present a significant implementation chal- lenge. They involve computationally intensive and specialised functionality, are used in a wide range of contexts, and form a central target in a complex attack surface. The demand for efficiency (however measured) is an example of this challenge in two ways.

  • The First Systematic Hardware Accelerator Design for SOSEMANUK with Optional Serpent and SNOW 2.0 Modes
    Three Snakes in One Hole: The First Systematic Hardware Accelerator Design for SOSEMANUK with Optional Serpent and SNOW 2.0 Modes Goutam Paul Cryptology and Security Research Unit (CSRU), R. C. Bose Centre for Cryptology and Security, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata 700 108, India [email protected] and Anupam Chattopadhyay School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore [email protected] Abstract With increasing usage of hardware accelerators in modern heterogeneous System- on-Chips (SoCs), the distinction between hardware and software is no longer rigid. The domain of cryptography is no exception and efficient hardware design of so-called software ciphers are becoming increasingly popular. In this paper, for the first time we propose an efficient hardware accelerator design for SOSEMANUK, one of the fi- nalists of the eSTREAM stream cipher competition in the software category. Since SOSEMANUK combines the design principles of the block cipher Serpent and the stream cipher SNOW 2.0, we make our design flexible to accommodate the option for independent execution of Serpent and SNOW 2.0. In the process, we identify interest- ing design points and explore different levels of optimizations. We perform a detailed experimental evaluation for the performance figures of each design point. The best throughput achieved by the combined design is 67.84 Gbps for SOSEMANUK, 33.92 Gbps for SNOW 2.0 and 2.12 Gbps for Serpent. Our design outperforms all existing hardware (as well as software) designs of Serpent, SNOW 2.0 and SOSEMANUK, along with those of all other eSTREAM candidates. Keywords: Cryptography, Hardware Accelerator, Serpent, SNOW 2.0, SOSEMANUK, Stream cipher implementation.
