Abstract

Lightweight S-boxes have a significant impact on cryptographic algorithms for resource-constrained devices in the Internet of Things (IoT). Previous research on such S-oxes has focused on low area and good cryptographic properties, which neglects the resistance to side-channel analysis, especially differential power analysis (DPA). The reVisited transparency order (VTO) is one of the best indicators for evaluating S-boxes against DPA attacks so far. Therefore, this paper presents a scheme for designing 6-bit S-boxes. The designed S-boxes are suitable for lightweight block ciphers and have a certain ability to resist DPA attacks. Specifically, we first identify 23 3-bit S-boxes with the optimal cryptographic properties and the smallest hardware area through systematic screening. Then, the paper investigates the constructions of lightweight 6-bit S-boxes based on traditional algorithm structures. Finally, a novel structure named F-LM-F is proposed for designing lightweight 6-bit S-boxes by combining Feistel structure and Lai-Massey structure. It has been proven through comparison that the S-boxes under F-LM-F structure achieve fewer fixed points and lower VTO than the 6-bit S-box of BipBip cipher, with a 17.61

具有抗DPA性能的轻量级6位s - box

轻量级s盒对物联网（IoT）中资源受限设备的加密算法产生了重大影响。以往的研究主要集中在低面积和良好的密码性能上，而忽略了对侧信道分析，特别是差分功率分析（DPA）的抵抗能力。重访透明令（VTO）是迄今为止评估s -box抵御DPA攻击的最佳指标之一。因此，本文提出了一种设计6位s盒的方案。设计的s盒适用于轻量级分组密码，具有一定的抗DPA攻击能力。具体而言，我们首先通过系统筛选确定了23个具有最佳加密特性和最小硬件面积的3位s盒。然后，研究了基于传统算法结构的轻量级6位s盒的构造。最后，结合Feistel结构和Lai-Massey结构，提出了一种设计轻量化6位s盒的新型结构F-LM-F。通过比较证明，F-LM-F结构下的s盒比BipBip密码的6位s盒实现了更少的固定点和更低的VTO，硬件面积减少了17.61%，CPU周期减少了13.58%。

期刊介绍： The proposed journal, called the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering (TNSE), is committed to timely publishing of peer-reviewed technical articles that deal with the theory and applications of network science and the interconnections among the elements in a system that form a network. In particular, the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering publishes articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks at the fundamental level. The types of networks covered include physical or engineered networks, information networks, biological networks, semantic networks, economic networks, social networks, and ecological networks. Aimed at discovering common principles that govern network structures, network functionalities and behaviors of networks, the journal seeks articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks. Another trans-disciplinary focus of the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering is the interactions between and co-evolution of different genres of networks.
