Abstract: Although there is no theoretical weakness in a cryptographic algorithm, Side Channel Analysis can find out some secret data from the physical implementation of a cryptosystem. The analysis is based on extra information such as timing information, power consumption, electromagnetic leaks or even sound which can be exploited to break the system. Differential Power Analysis is one of the most popular analyses, as computing the statistical correlations of the secret keys and power consumptions. It is usually necessary to calculate huge data and takes a long time. It may take several weeks for some devices with countermeasures. We suggest and evaluate the methods to shorten the time to analyze cryptosystems. Our methods include distributed computing and parallelized processing.
Abstract: This paper is about hiding RFID tag identifier (ID)
using handheld device like a cellular phone. By modifying the tag ID
of objects periodically or manually using cellular phone built-in a
RFID reader chip or with a external RFID reader device, we can
prevent other people from gathering the information related with
objects querying information server (like an EPC IS) with a tag ID or
deriving the information from tag ID-s code structure or tracking the
location of the objects and the owner of the objects. In this paper, we
use a cryptographic algorithm for modification and restoring of RFID
tag ID, and for one original tag ID, there are several different
temporary tag ID, periodically.
