Preface
Security is as strong as the weakest link. The mathematical design and analysis of cryptographic algorithms has evolved a lot over the last decades (ever since the invention of public key cryptography at the end of the 1970s). The mathematical strength of the cryptographic algorithms is now at such a level that the attacker will choose the ‘implementation’ as the weak link in the chain. Many incidents have been reported for hardware and software implementations. Even the human factor, forgetting or using easy passwords, is often the weak link. Weak implementations are becoming an even bigger problem as more and more information processing moves to small portable embedded devices. These small devices are cheap, lightweight, easy to carry around, and also easy to loose. The need for embedded security is omnipresent in cell phones, PDA’s, medical devices, automotive, consumer, smart cards, RFID tags, sensor nodes, and so on. At the other end of the spectrum computations and storage of sensitive data move from hard disks on our personal PCs to central servers and to the so-called clouds. Also in these environments efficient and secure implementations are a necessity to provide security and privacy. The goal of this book, Secure Integrated Circuits and Systems, is to give the integrated circuits and system designer an insight in the basics of security and cryptography from the implementation viewpoint.
