The environment in which the development of the candidate algorithms submitted to the NIST post-quantum standardization process in late 2017 occurred was substantially different than that of the standard, pre-quantum algorithms, such as RSA in the 1970s. Once such a channel is established between two parties, further communication over the channel typically proceeds using a highly efficient private-key encryption algorithm, such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher. To facilitate this transition, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a worldwide process in late 2017 to solicit, evaluate, and standardize one or more quantum-resistant public-key cryptographic algorithms. The crucial questions here involve the suitability of the new cryptographic candidates for use in real-world applications, based on the running time of their key generation algorithm, their encryption and decryption algorithms, or their signing and signature verification algorithms.

File encryption works using cryptography to scramble the contents of files so they're unreadable without the correct authentication - usually a password that is used to unlock an encryption key, which in turn decrypts the file so it's readable. Simple, fast file encryption If you only need to encrypt individual files on a semi-regular basis - or wish to encrypt files before sharing them with others - the open-source tool AES Crypt (www.aescrypt.com) is all you need. If you want stronger encryption for individual files or folders, Gpg4win (www.gpg4win.org) works in a similar fashion to AES Crypt, with the added bonus of allowing you to encrypt files using public keys protected by passphrases for additional security. As with all major operations, we strongly Shred data securely When you delete a file, it's not physically removed from your PC; instead, the first few bytes of the file are overwritten with a tag that tells Windows that the file is deleted and the space it currently resides in is available when writing other files to disk.

A false key-based advanced encryption standard (AES) technique is proposed to prevent the stored secret key leaking from the substitution-box under correlation power analysis (CPA) attacks without significant power and area overhead. Wave dynamic differential logic (WDDL)-based XOR gates are utilized during the reconstruction stage to hide the intermediate data that may be highly correlated with the false key. After applying the false key and designing the reconstruction stage with the WDDL, the minimum measurement-to-disclose value for the proposed lightweight masked AES engine implementation becomes over 150 million against CPA attacks. As compared to an unprotected AES engine, the power, area, and performance overhead of the proposed AES implementation is negligible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The constant increase of devices connected to the internet and the development and spread of technologies such as 5G leads to substantial growth in data-sharing over non-secure channels in real-time applications, augmenting the need for fast cryptography algorithms. Algorithms such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) are not optimized for image encryption, and hence, as an alternative, chaotic encryption strategies have been explored by researchers. However, due to the use of floating-point arithmetic and inefficient memory access, the performance of these chaotic ciphers is insufficient for the encryption of high-resolution images. Thus, this work proposes generating the chaotic sequences based on fixed-point arithmetic to increase computational efficiency, and using a simultaneous permutation–diffusion operation and block encryption to deal with the inefficient memory access. The proposed scheme leads to a throughput 353 times higher than the AES, 75 times higher than the previously higher value in the literature and 11 times higher than the Ascon algorithm. The cipher security evaluation is performed based on statistical attacks, with metrics such as Pearson, histogram variance, Shannon's entropy, correlation coefficients, and NIST tests; differential attacks, with the NPCR, UACI, and MSE metrics; chosen plain-text, with the SSIM metric; brute-force, with the key-space; noise and occlusion attacks, with the PSNR metric.

In this paper, the mathematical foundations of the security implications of utilizing various on-chip voltage converters as a countermeasure against differential power analysis (DPA) attacks are investigated. An exhaustive mathematical analysis of a recently proposed converter-reshuffling (CoRe) technique is presented where measurement to disclose (MTD) is used to compare the security of the proposed on-chip CoRe regulator with the security of conventional on-chip voltage regulators. A DPA-resistant and lightweight advanced encryption standard (AES) engine implementation that leverages the CoRe technique is proposed. The impact of the centralized and distributed placement of the voltage regulators on the security of a pipelined AES engine is explored. The security implications of the relationship between the clock frequency of the device under attack and the switching frequency of the voltage regulator are investigated. As compared to an unprotected AES engine, the MTD value of the proposed improved pipelined AES engine with a centralized on-chip CoRe regulator is enhanced over 9100 times. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
