However, the mass deployment of EPC system is frequently degraded by security and privacy problems. Therefore, the major researches focus on the design of a secure EPC system with high efficiency. This paper discusses the security requirements of EPC system and presents a universal composable （UC） model for EPC system, the ideal functionality of EPC system is also formally defined with the UC framework. Then a secure protocol for EPC system under UC framework is proposed and the analysis of security and performance of the proposed protocol is given, in comparison with other protocols, the results show that the proposed protocol is UC secure and can provide privacy protection, untraceability, authorized access, anonymity and concurrent security for EPC system. Furthermore, less computation and storage resource are required by the proposed protocol.展开更多

To solve this problem, this article proposes a new program memory encryption mechanism （PEM） to enhance the security of embedded processor. The new mechanism encrypts all the programs via a secure cache structure. It not only caches the instructions read from the off-chip memory, but also stores the pad values used to encrypt the plaintext. It effectively accelerates encryption and reduces the performance overhead. Besides the encryption, PEM also monitors the program modifications and reset behaviors to reduce the risk of vicious tamper. The experiment indicates that PEM has an average of 2.3 % performance improvement and results in a 25.71% power reduction in the write-back stage. The new scheme offers a good balance between performance and security. It is fully practicable for embedded processor.展开更多
