VHDL Programming for Side-Channel Attack Countermeasures in IoT Security
Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) landscape is expanding rapidly, connecting billions of devices across diverse domains. This interconnectedness, while offering unprecedented convenience and efficiency, also creates a fertile ground for security vulnerabilities. Among these threats, side-channel attacks (SCAs) pose a significant risk, particularly targeting the cryptographic implementations that underpin IoT security. SCAs exploit information leaked from the physical execution of cryptographic algorithms, such as power consumption, timing variations, and electromagnetic …

Robust Access Control Mechanisms Using VHDL Programming for IoT Security
Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) devices are increasingly becoming targets for criminal actors. A compromised device can result in data breaches, denial-of-service attacks, and even physical damage. While software-based security solutions are important, they are susceptible to attacks and often impose significant overhead, negatively impacting both performance and battery life. A viable alternative is provided by hardware-based security, which takes advantage of the inherent security benefits that are associated with …

VLSI Based Traffic Light Controller
Abstract: This study details the development and realization of an advanced traffic light control system utilizing VHDL (Very High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) in conjunction with FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) technology. The system is designed to regulate a four-way intersection, with one primary high-traffic road intersecting with a less congested side road. To enhance traffic efficiency and minimize idle times, the model incorporates intelligent features such as a vehicle …
