Abstract
A hardware encryption module with reconfigurable security algorithms for randomly selecting block ciphers, stream ciphers, and their components, for internet of things (IoT) and data security applications. A corresponding system contains a hardware number generator for generating unique secrets in digital and wireless communication protocols. The system contains a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator for creating deterministic random sequences for the reconfigurable logic module. The system contains a multiplexing scheme to send keys and cipher texts in accordance with a wireless communication protocol. The hardware encryption module can be used to reconfigure block cipher algorithms, modes of operation, key scheduling algorithms, confusion functions, and/or round orders, based on reconfigurable logic. One type of reconfigurable logic allows stream cipher algorithms and key mixing keys to be changed at random.
