The content of this speech includes an introduction to the ASCON algorithm, our research team’s hardware implementation results, and its Side-Channel Analysis (SCA). The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced in 2023 that the ASCON series of algorithms is a Lightweight Cryptography standard for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. ASCON boasts a simple structure compared to the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Hash functions like SHA-256, which have been used for over 20 years. This design architecture can simultaneously meet the Symmetric-key Algorithm and Hash function requirements. However, whether in software or hardware implementation, ASCON remains vulnerable to attacks from Side-Channel Analysis, and attackers may even utilize Machine Learning or Deep Learning technologies to enhance attack efficiency.
