Hardware Implementation of the NTRU Deterministic Public Key Encryption

The increasing advancements in quantum computing have led to an increasing danger for the cyberspace. The current cryptographic algorithms that are used to enable secure communication across insecure channels have the potential to be brute-forced by sufficiently powerful quantum computers, endangering the security of many electronic devices and...

Analysis of Cache Attacks and Countermeasures on the ρ-­VEX Processor

Modern implementations of encryption algorithms on CPU’s that use frequent memory lookups of precomputed functions, are vulnerable to Cache based Side­Channel Attacks. The ρ­-VEX processor, a runtime reconfigurable VLIW processor developed at the Computer and Quantum Engineering department at the TU Delft was identified to possibly allow for...

Design for a TCP/IP transparent FPGA-based network diode: To what extent is it possible to implement a network diode on an FPGA under realistic network environments, using the Transmission Control Protocol?

The urgency for high-security products for industrial networks is increasing as malicious hackers are improving their accessibility tools. A common practice for a company to protect its sensitive data is network segmentation. The network is segmented in different domains with distinctive security levels. The sensitive data is stored and managed...
