LARGE NUMBER LIBRARY – THE NEW LABVIEW TOOL FOR SECURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS
Piotr Bobinski, Wieslaw Winiecki
Abstract:
The paper presents the proposal of a new mathematical tool for LabVIEW environment – the Large Number Library. After the short introduction describing the security issue in the Distributed Measurement-Control Systems (DMCS), the most popular asymmetric encryption algorithms (public-key encryption algorithms) are described in order to demonstrate the need for developing such a library. The LN library was implemented in two variants: the native LabVIEW code (G language) and using external software modules (DLLs). The algorithms implemented in both alternatives have been developed basing on the Number Theory Library (NTL) – Victor Shoup's open source library. The results of accuracy and efficiency tests for several functions implemented in both variants are shown. The developed LN library will allow for the creation of the advanced cryptographic libraries dedicated to the LabVIEW environment, enabling the development of secure communication channels in DMCS and information security of DMCS networks.
