Abstract:
Technologies for elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) include a computing device having an ECC engine that reads one or more parameters from a data port. The ECC engine performs operations using the parameters, such as an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). The ECDSA may be performed in a protected mode, in which the ECC engine will ignore inputs. The ECC engine may perform the ECDSA in a fixed amount of time in order to protect against timing side-channel attacks. The ECC engine may perform the ECDSA by consuming a uniform amount of power in order to protect against power side-channel attacks. The ECC engine may perform the ECDSA by emitting a uniform amount of electromagnetic radiation in order to protect against EM side-channel attacks. The ECC engine may perform the ECDSA verify with 384-bit output in order to protect against fault injection attacks.

Abstract:
Technologies for counter with CBC-MAC (CCM) mode encryption include a computing device that performs a CBC-MAC authentication operation on a message with an encryption key, using a 64-bit block cipher to generate a message authentication code. The computing device generates a first 64-bit authentication block including an 8-bit flag field and a length field of between 11 and 32 bits. The flag field indicates the length of the length field. Performing the CBC-MAC authentication operation includes formatting the message into one or more 64-bit authentication blocks. The computing device performs a counter mode encryption operation on the message with the encryption key using the 64-bit block cipher to generate a cipher text. Performing the counter mode encryption includes generating multiple 64-bit keystream blocks. The computing device generates an authentication tag based on the message authentication code and a first keystream block of keystream blocks. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
A data processing system that provides for active prevention of masquerading attacks comprises a microcontroller, a transceiver, and an active attack prevention module (AAPM) in communication with the microcontroller and the transceiver. The microcontroller enables the data processing system to operate as a node in a vehicle control system (VCS). The transceiver enables the node to communicate with a local area network (LAN) of the VCS. The AAPM enables the node to monitor the LAN for messages. In response to detecting a message on the LAN, the AAPM automatically determines whether the message falsely identifies the node as a source, based on a value in an identifier field in the message. In response to determining that the message falsely identifies the node as the source, the AAPM automatically takes at least one remedial action to neutralize the message. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
One embodiment provides a signer device. The signer device includes hash signature control logic and signer signature logic. The hash signature control logic is to retrieve a first nonce, to concatenate the first nonce and a message to be transmitted and to determine whether a first message representative satisfies a target threshold. The signer signature logic is to generate a first transmitted signature based, at least in part, on the first message representative, if the first message representative satisfies the target threshold. The hash signature control logic is to retrieve a second nonce, concatenate the second nonce and the message to be transmitted and to determine whether a second message representative satisfies the target threshold, if the first message representative does not satisfy the target threshold.
