摘要:

随着物联网的快速发展,受限设备的安全性受到了严重的挑战,轻量级密码作为受限设备的主要安全措施受到越来越多研究人员的关注。针对轻量级密码的设计策略、安全性和实现性能问题的研究进展作了综述。阐述了轻量级密码常用的设计策略及设计中的关键问题,并对当前典型和常见的轻量级密码从原理、实现机制等诸多方面进行了分析和讨论。归纳总结了轻量级密码安全分析的常用方法,并强调了旁路攻击的威胁与加入防护机制时应注意的问题;从轻量级密码性能的各项重要指标的角度详细对比和分析了现有的轻量级密码算法,指出了面向硬件和面向软件实现的轻量级密码各自适用的场合;最后进一步指明了当前轻量级密码研究中尚未解决的一些难题和未来可能发展的方向。结合轻量级密码自身特征和其应用的环境等特点,指出轻量级密码安全性和实现性能的综合评估是未来值得不断深入研究的问题。

Abstract:

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), security of constrained devices suffer a serious challenge. LightWeight Cryptography (LWC) as the main security measure of constrained devices is getting more and more attention of researchers. The recent advance in issues of lightweight cryptography such as design strategy, security and performance were reviewed. Firstly, design strategies and the key issues during the design were elaborated, and many aspects such as principle and implementation mechanisms of some typical and common lightweight cryptography were analyzed and discussed. Then not only the commonly used cryptanalysis methods were summarized but also the threat of side channel attacks and the issues should be noted when adding resistant mechanism were emphasized. Furthermore, detailed comparison and analysis of the existing lightweight cryptography from the perspective of the important indicators of the performance of lightweight cryptography were made, and the suitable environments of hardware-oriented and software-oriented lightweight cryptography were given. Finally, some unresolved difficult issues in the current and possible development direction in the future of lightweight cryptography research were pointed out. Considering characteristics of lightweight cryptography and its application environment, comprehensive assessment of security and performance will be the issues which worth depth researching in the future.
