A Multivariate Encryption for Chip Design Protection and Its Circuit Architecture
Currently the design data in a programmable chip is widely protected by block cipher
and the ciphertext is deciphered by a keyed circuit before the use of the data.Typically
the size of such a circuit is from 30 to 65 thousand gates
and the processing rate of it is from 3.0 to 3.7 Gigabits per second(Gbps).This paper proposes a 2-round multivariate cryptosystem.The algorithm of its decryption does not compose the constituent polynomial maps but only concatenates them.And with the processing rate from 7.76 to 13.6 Gbps
the decryption can be implemented by only about several or ten thousand gates.Because the decryption polynomials are encapsulated and disguised
most attacks against multivariate cryptosystems become inapplicable.And the new cryptosystem also resists the attacks that do not need to know the decryption polynomials
