چکیده

The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) developed the Simon and Speck families of lightweight block ciphers as an aid for securing applications in very constrained environments where AES may not be suitable. This paper sum­ marizes the algorithms, their design rationale, along with current cryptanalysis and implemen­ tation results.

Triathlon of Lightweight Block Ciphers for the Internet of Things

In this paper we introduce an open framework for the benchmarking of lightweight block ciphers on a multitude of embedded platforms. Our framework is able to evaluate execution time, RAM footprint, as well as (binary) code size, and allows a user to define a custom “figure of merit” according to which all evaluated candidates can be ranked. We used the framework to benchmark various implementat...

Correlation Power Analysis of Lightweight Block Ciphers: From Theory to Practice

Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) represents a serious threat to the security of millions of smart devices that form part of the so-called Internet of Things (IoT). Choosing the “right” cryptographic primitive for the IoT is a highly challenging task due to the resource constraints of IoT devices and the variety of primitives. An important criterion to assess the suitability of a lightweight cipher w...

A new CPA resistant software implementation for symmetric ciphers with smoothed power consumption: SIMON case study

In this paper we propose a new method for applying hiding countermeasure against CPA attacks. This method is for software implementation, based on smoothing power consumption of the device. This method is evaluated on the SIMON scheme as a case study; however, it is not relying on any specific SIMON features. Our new method includes only AND equivalent and XOR equivalent operations since every ...

The Simon and Speck Block Ciphers on AVR 8-Bit Microcontrollers

The last several years have witnessed a surge of activity in lightweight cryptographic design. Many lightweight block ciphers have been proposed, targeted mostly at hardware applications. Typically software performance has not been a priority, and consequently software performance for many of these algorithms is unexceptional. Simon and Speck are lightweight block cipher families developed by t...

Advanced Differential Cryptanalysis of Reduced-Round SIMON64/128 Using Large-Round Statistical Distinguishers

Lightweight cryptography is a rapidly evolving area of research and it has great impact especially on the new computing environment called the Internet of Things (IoT) or the Smart Object networks (Holler et al., 2014), where lots of constrained devices are connected on the Internet and exchange information on a daily basis. Every year there are many new submissions of cryptographic primitives ...
