Abstract

Science and industry consider non classical cryptographic technologies to provide alternative security solutions. They are motivated by strong restrictions as they are often present in embedded security scenarios and in application such as battery powered embedded systems and RFID devices with often severe resource limitations. We investigate the implementation of a low hardware complexity cryptosystem for lightweight (authenticated) symmetric key exchange, based on two new Tree Parity Machine Rekeying Architectures (TPMRAs). This work significantly extends and optimizes (number of gates) previously published results on TPMRAs. We evaluate characteristics of standardcell ASIC design realizations as IP-core in 0.18-CMOS technology and an implementation into a standard bus controller with security features.
