CMPRs concatenate Mersenne Product Registers (MPRs) through nonlinear interconnections, producing long cycle structures while retaining hardware efficiency and cryptographic resilience. Preliminary work demonstrated CMPR-based pseudorandom generators and stream ciphers, with ASIC and FPGA results showing competitive or improved area, power, and security compared to the NLFSR-based cryptosystems in the prior work, such as TRIVIUM, Grain-128AEADv2, and Espresso. Building on these results, the proposed research will extend CMPRs to other cryptosystems, including hash functions, message authentication codes, and block ciphers using sponge construction-based frameworks. The overarching goal is to provide a lightweight, mathematically grounded primitive that scales to modern cryptographic requirements while remaining efficient for use in constrained hardware systems.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Design, Analysis, and Implementation of a Scalable Hardware-Oriented Cryptographic Primitive"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2025-10-27 20:33:50","changed_gmt":"2025-10-27 20:35:08","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2025-11-12T13:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2025-11-12T15:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2025-11-12T15:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2025-11-12 18:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2025-11-12 20:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2025-11-12 20:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Room 2350, Klaus","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
