In this paper, we present the implementation and simulation of a hardware security coprocessor called EasiSec based on system-on-chip (SoC) technology for WSN. Compared with existing works, our unique features include: (1) A fingerprint-based key management (FKM) module to extract key elements from program memory and build secret keys for cryptographic coprocessor, which can resist the key compromise impersonation attack; (2) A reusable optimised logic cell (ROLC) to complete encryption and decryption, and minimise the hardware overhead; (3) An authentication module based on Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) to provide two-party data with integrity and freshness. The design is mapped on FPGA and ASIC design. Results show the hardware overhead of our design is 16.5% less than common designs and the execution time is shorter than other coprocessors. << 收起
