IoT Security: Performance Evaluation of Grain, MICKEY, and Trivium - Lightweight Stream Ciphers
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we evaluate the software implementation of eSTREAM Profile II finalists (Grain, MICKEY, and Trivium) on a NodeMCU development kit 1.0 microcontroller. The NodeMCU is programmed by Arduino IDE to run a C++ code that awaits TCP communication over a WiFi network to encrypt or decrypt text using these lightweight stream ciphers. Throughput performance of the cipher implementations on the NodeMCU device is measured and compared, as well as the overall WiFi network roundtrip execution time. Using these performance figures, we consider the suitability of these cipher algorithms as software implementations in IoT applications. Additionally, we consider the software and hardware implementation tradeoffs, as well as the device’s power consumption running the stream ciphers.

Probabilistic Signature Based Framework for Differential Fault Analysis of Stream Ciphers
Differential Fault Attack (DFA) has received serious attention in cryptographic literature and very recently such attacks have been mounted against several popular stream ciphers for example Grain v1, MICKEY 2.0 and Trivium, that are parts of the eStream hardware profile. The basic idea of the fault attacks consider injection of faults and the most general set-up should consider faults at rando...
متن کاملLIZARD - A Lightweight Stream Cipher for Power-constrained Devices
Time-memory-data (TMD) tradeoff attacks limit the security level of many classical stream ciphers (like E0, A5/1, Trivium, Grain) to 2 n, where n denotes the inner state length of the underlying keystream generator. In this paper, we present Lizard, a lightweight stream cipher for power-constrained devices like passive RFID tags. Its hardware efficiency results from combining a Grain-like desig...
