Abstract
In this paper, we present an ASIC implementation of two post-quantum publickey
cryptosystems (PKCs), NTRUEncrypt and TTS. It represents a rst step toward
securing M2M systems using strong, hardware-assisted PKC. In contrast to
the conventional wisdom that PKC is too "expensive" for M2M sensors, it actually
can lower the total cost of ownership because of cost savings in provision, deployment,
operation, maintenance, and general management. Furthermore, PKC can
be more energy-e cient because PKC-based security protocols usually involve less
communication than their symmetric-key-based counterparts, and communication
is getting relatively more and more expensive compared with computation. More
importantly, recent algorithmic advances have brought several new PKCs, NTRUEncrypt
and TTS included, that are orders of magnitude more e cient than traditional
PKCs such as RSA. It is therefore our primary goal in this paper to demonstrate the
feasibility of using hardware-based PKC to provide general data security in M2M
applications.
