Key Encapsulation Mechanism-Based Integrated Encryption Scheme (KEM-IES)

May 11, 2026

This work addresses the threat posed by quantum computing to traditional Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES) by proposing KEM-IES, a novel post-quantum secure integrated encryption scheme. KEM-IES uniquely integrates the NIST 2025-standardized lightweight authenticated encryption algorithm Ascon with a post-quantum key encapsulation mechanism (PQC-KEM), establishing an encryption architecture that achieves both quantum resistance and high efficiency. Built upon the ECIES framework, the scheme is implemented and optimized on the Raspberry Pi 4 embedded platform. Experimental results demonstrate that KEM-IES and its Ascon-based variant significantly outperform conventional ECIES in performance while maintaining strong security guarantees, making them particularly well-suited for resource-constrained environments.

Comparison of Credential Management Systems Based on the Standards of IEEE, ETSI, and YD/T 3957-2021

Mar 02, 2026

This study addresses the interoperability challenges in V2X networks caused by the mutual incompatibility among IEEE, ETSI, and the Chinese national standard YD/T 3957-2021 for certificate management. For the first time, an end-to-end protocol stack implementing all three standards is realized on a unified experimental platform, supporting both international cryptographic algorithms (NIST P-256, SHA-256, AES-128) and Chinese national algorithms (SM2/SM3/SM4). The work systematically compares these standards in terms of certificate format, signature structure, and request procedures, and empirically evaluates the latency and resource overhead of message signing and verification. The results demonstrate the feasibility of deploying SM2/SM3/SM4 in V2X scenarios, providing critical empirical evidence for the development of a secure, multi-standard-compliant certificate management system.

Implementation Challenges in Quantum Key Distribution

Feb 02, 2026

This study addresses the practical challenges of deploying quantum key distribution (QKD) on real quantum hardware by systematically implementing the BB84 and E91 protocols on the IBM Quantum platform. The work introduces an innovative approach using SX gates to efficiently generate uniform superposition states, leveraging quantum entanglement and superposition to ensure key security. Experimental validation is performed through metrics including quantum bit error rate, Shannon entropy, and independent and identically distributed (IID) assumptions, demonstrating the feasibility and eavesdropping resistance of both protocols on current noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. The results provide empirical support and technical insights for the practical realization of QKD in real-world quantum systems.

Deterministic Random Bit Generators Based on Ascon for Embedded Systems

Dec 01, 2025

Addressing the challenge of balancing security and efficiency in deterministic random bit generators (DRBGs) for resource-constrained embedded systems, this paper proposes—based on the NIST lightweight cryptographic standard Ascon—the first systematic family of Ascon-driven DRBG constructions: Ascon-Hash, Ascon-HMAC, and Ascon-CTR. These designs deeply integrate Ascon’s native structure while fully complying with NIST SP 800-90A requirements, achieving substantial reductions in computational overhead and memory footprint. Experimental evaluation on Raspberry Pi demonstrates that the proposed DRBGs achieve 23–37% higher average throughput and reduce RAM usage by 41–58% compared to state-of-the-art lightweight DRBGs (e.g., ChaCha20-DRBG, AES-CTR-DRBG). This work bridges a critical gap in Ascon’s applicability, establishing a new paradigm for efficient, secure, and standards-compliant random number generation tailored to low-power cryptographic hardware.
