In the Internet age, if careless, there is a risk of data leakage. In the past, maintain by software such as financial transactions passwords. National Chiao Tung University Chair Professor Shao-Shiun Steve Chung has developed new technologies. In the future, it can be generated by hardware and increase cracking difficulties. The research was published in the 2020 IEDM International Top Flagship International Conference on Electronic Components and was reported by the well-known Journal Nature.
The 2020 IEDM International Top Flagship International Conference on Electronic Components was held in mid-December. This conference is the core conference in the semiconductor field. For 66 years, it has played the role of the locomotive of high-tech electronic semiconductor related industries. The well-known journal Nature also attaches great importance to the conference. 3 Years ago, he took the initiative to report the top research published in the IEDM conference.
The two papers published by Shao-Shiun Steve Chung''s research team in 2020 IEDM this month are related to network security devices. One of the articles, "Embedded Memory Encryption Device", can be applied to the network security of the 5G/6G generation. The memory encryption device takes the memory as the core, which is invented by Shao-Shiun Steve Chung’s research team in 2016, supplemented by the innovative memory and new process technology by the team, and then constructed a garbled generator.
Shao-Shiun Steve Chung said that the random number generator has many advantages, including fast speed, low power consumption and high reliability. It is superior to other structures. At the same time, it can be embedded to be compatible with advanced logic technology, which can improve the storage, communication, Encryption purposes for 5G/6G generation networks, etc. in the future.
In the past, software was used to maintain the password for financial transactions and generate the one-time password for credit card use. Shao-Shiun Steve Chung explained that in the future, it can be generated by hardware. In terms of network security, it will increase crack difficulties and even more uncrackable randomness. The concept of hardware design can also expand more extensive research and practicability in the future, such as preventing hard disk data from being hacked and stolen, and the confidentiality of communication devices.
Shao-Shiun Steve Chung’s embedded memory encryption device is highly valued and reported by Nature. Nature Research researcher Christiana Varnava quoted Shao-Shiun Steve Chung’s original paper report, reported that in this rapidly expanding Internet of Things era, network security is important, and the superiority and importance of this research paper. It is also the only one paper reported by Nature among submitted papers from Taiwan.
