Coello Coello · Domagoj Jakobovic · Nele Mentens Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract Finding the shortest addition chain for a given exponent is a sig- nificant problem in cryptography. In this work, we present a genetic algorithm with a novel encoding of solutions and new crossover and mutation opera- tors to minimize the length of the addition chains corresponding to a given exponent. We also develop a repair strategy that significantly enhances the performance of our approach. The results are compared with respect to those generated by other metaheuristics for exponents of moderate size, but we also investigate values up to 2255 − 21. For numbers of such size, we were unable to find any results produced by other metaheuristics which could be used for comparison purposes.

  • A NATIONAL STRATEGY to RESTORE COASTAL and ESTUARINE HABITAT Dear Friend
    A NATIONAL STRATEGY TO RESTORE COASTAL AND ESTUARINE HABITAT Dear Friend, The rich interplay between the land and the sea creates one of America’s most valuable natural, economic, and cultural res o u r ces—its estuaries and coasts. In this unique nexus— characterized by the dynamic blending of salt and fresh water during tidal cycles—abundant life is created and nurtu re d . Estuaries nurtu r e not only shellfish, fish, and wildlife, but also nourish the human spirit. We ar e from the sea, and we are continually lured back to its edge, rei n f o r cing the kinship we sh a r e with this place as we sail, fish, swim, and relax near a glistening bay or a rocky shore. And yet, no place on earth more directly embodies the challenge of balancing human needs and the needs of other species than estuaries. By 2025, 75 percent of our population will live within 50 miles of the coast. We must learn how to develop our own habitat while also pro- tecting and restoring the very essence of what binds us to our coasts. Re s t o r e America’s Estuaries and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are pleased to present A National Strategy to Restore Coastal and Estuarine Habitat, and we are grateful to the scores of scientists, restoration practitioners, program managers, and others who contributed their expertise and insights. This National Strategy takes a major step to w a r d reclaiming losses of the past 200 years. We look forwa r d to continued collaboration as we move forwa r d and reinvest in our coastal and estuarine habitats.

  • Fourq on ASIC: Breaking Speed Records for Elliptic Curve Scalar Multiplication
    FourQ on ASIC: Breaking Speed Records for Elliptic Curve Scalar Multiplication Hiromitsu Awano∗ and Makoto Ikeda† VLSI Design and Education Center, The University of Tokyo Hongo 7-3-1, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan, 113–8656 Email: ∗[email protected], †[email protected] Abstract—An ASIC cryptoprocessor for scalar multiplication To reduce the key size without degrading the security level, (SM) on FourQ is proposed. By exploiting Karatsuba multi- elliptic curve digital signature algorithms (ECDSAs) have been plication and lazy reduction techniques, the arithmetic units developed. In comparison to RSA, ECDSA exploits a scalar of the proposed processor are tailored for operations over multiplication, the repetitive additions of a point along an quadratic extension field (Fp2 ). We also propose an automated instruction scheduling methodology based on a combinatorial elliptic curve, to produce a one-way function. ECDSA is optimization solver to fully exploit the available instruction- known to achieve the same security strength with only a 1/10 level parallelism. With the proposed processor fabricated by of key length used in RSA [4], e.g., a 256 bit elliptic curve using a 65 nm silicon-on-thin-box (SOTB) CMOS process, we public key should provide comparable security to a 3072 bit demonstrate that an SM can be computed in 10.1 μs when a typical operating voltage of 1.20 V is applied, which corresponds RSA public key, which drastically reduce the key storage and to 3.66× acceleration compared to the conventional P-256 curve transmission cost and is suitable for embedded applications.

    Compact Variable-base ECC Scalar Multiplication using Euclidean Addition Chains Fabien Herbaut1, Nicolas Meloni´ 2 and Pascal Veron´ 2 1INSPE Nice-Toulon, Universite´ Coteˆ d’Azur, Institut de Mathematiques´ de Toulon, France 2Institut de Mathematiques´ de Toulon, Universite´ de Toulon, France Keywords: Elliptic Curves, Scalar Multiplication, Side-channel Protection, Memory Usage, Addition Chain. Abstract: The random generation of Euclidean addition chains fits well with a GLV context (Dosso et al., 2018) and provides a method with decent performance despite the growth of the base field required to get the same level of security. The aim of this paper is to reduce the size of the base field required. Combined with an algorithmic improvement, we obtain a reduction of 21% of the memory usage. Hence, our method appears to be one of the most compact scalar multiplication procedure and is particularly suitable for lightweight applications. 1 INTRODUCTION AND a larger curve as compared to other methods for the CONTEXT same security level.

Oliveira1*, Fernando Magno Quintão Pereira2, Rafael Misoczki3, Diego F. Aranha4, Fábio Borges5, Michele Nogueira6, Michelle Wangham7,MinWu8 and Jie Liu9 Abstract Decades went by since Mark Weiser published his influential work on the computer of the 21st century. Over the years, some of the UbiComp features presented in that paper have been gradually adopted by industry players in the technology market. While this technological evolution resulted in many benefits to our society, it has also posed, along the way, countless challenges that we have yet to surpass. In this paper, we address major challenges from areas that most afflict the UbiComp revolution: 1. Software Protection: weakly typed languages, polyglot software, and networked embedded systems. 2. Long-term Security: recent advances in cryptanalysis and quantum attacks. 3. Cryptography Engineering: lightweight cryptosystems and their secure implementation. 4. Resilience: issues related to service availability and the paramount role of resilience. 5. Identity Management: requirements to identity management with invisibility. 6. Privacy Implications: sensitivity data identification and regulation. 7. Forensics: trustworthy evidence from the synergy of digital and physical world. We point out directions towards the solutions of those problems and claim that if we get all this right, we will turn the science fiction of UbiComp into science fact.

  • Fourq: Four-Dimensional Decompositions on a Q-Curve Over the Mersenne Prime
    FourQ: four-dimensional decompositions on a Q-curve over the Mersenne prime Craig Costello and Patrick Longa Microsoft Research, USA {craigco,plonga}@microsoft.com Abstract. We introduce FourQ, a high-security, high-performance elliptic curve that targets the 128- bit security level. At the highest arithmetic level, cryptographic scalar multiplications on FourQ can use a four-dimensional Gallant-Lambert-Vanstone decomposition to minimize the total number of el- liptic curve group operations. At the group arithmetic level, FourQ admits the use of extended twisted Edwards coordinates and can therefore exploit the fastest known elliptic curve addition formulas over large prime characteristic fields. Finally, at the finite field level, arithmetic is performed modulo the extremely fast Mersenne prime p = 2127 − 1. We show that this powerful combination facilitates scalar multiplications that are significantly faster than all prior works. On Intel's Broadwell, Haswell, Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge architectures, our software computes a variable-base scalar multiplication in 50,000, 56,000, 69,000 cycles and 72,000 cycles, respectively; and, on the same platforms, our soft- ware computes a Diffie-Hellman shared secret in 80,000, 88,000, 104,000 cycles and 112,000 cycles, respectively. These results show that, in practice, FourQ is around four to five times faster than the original NIST P-256 curve and between two and three times faster than curves that are currently under consideration as NIST alternatives, such as Curve25519. 1 Introduction 2 2 2 2 This paper introduces a new, complete twisted Edwards [5] curve E(Fp2 ): −x + y = 1 + dx y , 127 where p is the Mersenne prime p = 2 − 1, and d is a non-square in Fp2 .

  • Fourq on FPGA: New Hardware Speed Records for Elliptic Curve Cryptography Over Large Prime Characteristic Fields
    FourQ on FPGA: New Hardware Speed Records for Elliptic Curve Cryptography over Large Prime Characteristic Fields B Kimmo J¨arvinen1, Andrea Miele2, Reza Azarderakhsh3, and Patrick Longa4( ) 1 Department of Computer Science, Aalto University, Espoo, Finland [email protected] 2 Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, USA [email protected] 3 Department of Computer Engineering, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, USA [email protected] 4 Microsoft Research, Redmond, USA [email protected] Abstract. We present fast and compact implementations of FourQ (ASIACRYPT 2015) on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and demonstrate, for the first time, the high efficiency of this new ellip- tic curve on reconfigurable hardware. By adapting FourQ’s algorithms to hardware, we design FPGA-tailored architectures that are sig- nificantly faster than any other ECC alternative over large prime characteristic fields. For example, we show that our single-core and multi-core implementations can compute at a rate of 6389 and 64730 scalar multiplications per second, respectively, on a Xilinx Zynq-7020 FPGA, which represent factor-2.5 and 2 speedups in comparison with the corresponding variants of the fastest Curve25519 implementation on the same device. These results show the potential of deploying FourQ on hardware for high-performance and embedded security applications. All the presented implementations exhibit regular, constant-time execution, protecting against timing and simple side-channel attacks. Keywords: Elliptic curves · FourQ · FPGA · Efficient hardware imple- mentation · Constant-time · Simple side-channel attacks 1 Introduction With the growing deployment of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) [15,24]in place of traditional cryptosystems such as RSA, compact, high-performance ECC-based implementations have become crucial for embedded systems and hardware applications.
