November Issue of 2008
IEEE Transactions on Computers seeks original manuscripts for a Special Section on Special-Purpose Hardware
for Cryptography and Cryptanalysis scheduled to appear in the November issue of 2008.
In order to achieve an acceptable security level, hardware implementations of cryptographic algorithms often have
to meet rather specialized criteria: To defend against attacks at the implementation level, the choice of algorithms
and components has to take into account questions like tamper resistance or the control of electromagnetic
emanation which might leak secret information. Meeting the expected security and efficiency requirements in
implementations of cryptographic algorithms through the use of standard components is often not practical.
Another cryptographic research avenue with an intimate interplay of algorithm design and hardware engineering
gained increasing attention: With a pure cryptanalytic goal in mind, various kinds of special purpose architectures
have been devised.
The goal of the Guest Editors for this special section is to create a volume of recent work on advances in all aspects
of special-purpose hardware for cryptography and cryptanalyis. The particular topics which are of interest are,
but not limited to:…
