Towards a Self-Organizing Deciphering System based on a Wave Digital Emulator

Current cryptographic systems are based on functions that are easy to compute, yet finding the inverse operation is computationally complex. One of these functions is the prime factorization which is utilized in modern communication systems. Memristive circuits are challenging these standards because they enable self-organizing logic gates (SOLGs) which can be operated in reverse mode, where every node can electively be used as an input or output. So far, only investigations with idealized memristor models have been done. That is because manufacturing costs of real memristors are high. Thus, our goal is to create a highly flexible emulator for an universal SOLG to aid future investigations. We therefore exploit the wave digital algorithm to obtain an emulator which preserves stability, allows for exchangeable memristor models, and enables parameter optimization and sensitivity analyses during runtime for future research.
