It is an honor for me to write this overview article and share with the reader the topic of circuits and security. This topic has triggered my curiosity since I started as a Ph.D. student.

This paper proposes an energy and area efficient entropy source, suitable for true random number generation, accompanied with a stochastic model in a 28nm CMOS technology. The design uses a jitter pipelining architecture together with an increased timing resolution to achieve a maximal throughput of 298 Mbit/s and a best energy efficiency of 1.46 pJ/bit at a supply of 0.8V. The generated random bits pass the NIST SP 800-90B IID tests with a min ...

Based on the past two years of experience as an online event due to the Covid-19 outbreak, DATE 2022 has been planned to cope with the uncertainty of the situation, having two days onsite, in Antwerp, Belgium, from March 14 to 15, 2022, to be followed by an online program until March 23, 2022. A different organization and format had been adopted to engage the DATE community, with a two-day rich program and numerous talks and panels to gather ...

The arrival of large-scale quantum computers will break the security assurances of our current public-key cryptography. National Institute of Standard & Technology (NIST) is currently running a multi-year-long standardization procedure to select quantum-safe or postquantum cryptographic schemes to be used in the future. Energy efficiency is an important criterion in the selection process. This paper presents the first Silicon verified ASIC ...
