The design of lightweight block ciphers has been a very active research topic over the last years. However, the lack of comparative source codes generally makes it hard to evaluate the extent to which different ciphers actually reach their low-cost goals, on different platforms. This paper reports on an initiative aimed to partially relax this issue. First, we implemented 12 block ciphers on an...

Multiactive bridge converters (MAB) have become a widely-researched candidate for the integration of multiple renewable sources, storage, and loads variety applications, from robust smart grids to more-electric aircraft. Connecting dc ports reduces power conversion stress, improves efficiency, material billing, increases density. However, flows between an MAB converter are magnetically coupled ...
