In this paper, we propose a lightweight authenticated encryption mode JAMBU. It only needs n-bit extra register for a block cipher with 2n-bit block size. It achieves n-bit authentication security when 2 bits are processed under a single key. When nonce (IV) is reused, the encryption security is similar to that of the CFB mode while the message authentication maintains strong security. We insta...

This paper presents a 64-bit lightweight block cipher TWINE supporting 80 and 128bit keys. TWINE realizes quite small hardware implementation similar to the previous lightweight block cipher proposals, yet enables efficient software implementations on various platforms, from micro-controller to high-end CPU. This characteristic is obtained by the use of generalized Feistel structure combined wi...

This paper presents the design of a lightweight, yet software friendly, block cipher. Most of the lightweight block ciphers are nibbleoriented as the implementation of a 4-bit S-box is much more compact than an 8-bit S-box. This paper uses a novel implementation of multiplicative inverse for 8-bit S-boxes using LFSR requiring only 138 gateequivalent. With this powerful scheme, we design a light...

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...

In this paper, we propose a new lightweight block cipher called LBlock. Similar to many other lightweight block ciphers, the block size of LBlock is 64-bit and the key size is 80-bit. Our security evaluation shows that LBlock can achieve enough security margin against known attacks, such as differential cryptanalysis, linear cryptanalysis, impossible differential cryptanalysis and related-key a...

183  Abstract— With the rapid advances in wireless networks low-end devices, such as RFID tags, wireless sensor nodes are deployed in increasing numbers each and every day. Such devices are used in many applications and environments, leading to an ever increasing need to provide security. When choosing security algorithms for resource-limited devices the implementation cost should be taken int...

In this paper, we propose a new lightweight block cipher called FeW 1 which encrypts 64-bit plaintext using key size 80/128 bits and produces 64-bit ciphertext. FeW is a software oriented design with the aim of achieving high efficiency in software based environments. We use a mix of Feistel and generalised Feistel structures (referred as Feistel-M structure hereinafter) to enhance the security...

TWINE is a lightweight block cipher proposed at ECRYPT Workshop on Lightweight Cryptography 2011, Belgium. The cipher consists of 36 rounds and has two versions TWINE-80 and TWINE-128 supporting key lengths of 80 and 128 bits, respectively. The block length of the two versions is 64-bit. In this paper, we present the first single-key attacks on the both versions of the cipher. In these attacks,...
