For mobile devices, this paper proposes a compact hardware (H/W) implementation for the KASUMI block cipher, which is the 3GPP standard encryption algorithm. In [4], Yamamoto et al. proposed the method of reducing temporary registers for the MISTY1 FO function (YYI-08), and implemented a very compact MISTY1H/W. This paper aims to design the smallest KASUMIH/W by the application of YYI-08 to KAS...
