Efficient and reliable computations for lightweight and/or high-performance cryptosystems: algorithms, architectures, designs and implementations

随着信息、计算机和通信技术和系统的飞速发展，海量数据需要在用户之间进行处理、存储和交换，这使得数据完整性和信息安全问题变得非常重要。为了保护数据并使其安全，各种加密原语被整合到许多标准和协议中，并在广泛的平台上实施；从用于服务器和基站的强大计算机到用于无线设备的轻量级密码系统。密码系统的性能在很大程度上依赖于高效的密码计算，特别是在资源受限的嵌入式系统中，如智能卡、RFID标签、物联网和无线传感器网络中的节点，这些系统的功耗、内存和带宽都非常有限。由于密码计算的复杂性，可靠而高效的密码计算的设计和实现是具有挑战性的。研究的主要目标概括如下：

With rapid advances in information, computer and communication technologies and systems, huge amount of data has to be processed, stored and exchanged among users, which makes data integrity and information security very important issues. To protect the data and make it secure, various cryptographic primitives are being incorporated in many standards and protocols and implemented in a wide range of platforms; from powerful computers used in servers and base stations to lightweight cryptosystems used in wireless devices. The performance of cryptosystems rely heavily on efficient cryptographic computations, specially in resource constrained embedded systems, such as smart cards, RFID tags, Internet of Things, and nodes in wireless sensor networks, where the power consumption, memory, and bandwidth are very limited. Reliable and efficient design and implementation of cryptographic computations are challenging due to their complex nature. The main objectives of the research are summarized as follows:
