The security of resource-constrained devices is critical in the IoT field, given that everything
is interconnected. Therefore, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) …

Authenticated encryption (AE) is a cryptographic construction that simultaneously protects
confidentiality and integrity. A considerable amount of research has been devoted to the …

We revisit designing AND-RX block ciphers, that is, the designs assembled with the most
fundamental binary operations—AND, Rotation and XOR operations and do not rely on …

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become an integral part of future solutions, ranging from
industrial to everyday human life applications. Adding a new level of intelligence to objects …

The GIFT family of lightweight block ciphers, published at CHES 2017, offers excellent
hardware performance figures and has been used, in full or in part, in several candidates of …

An optimized implementation of S-boxes has a significant impact on the performance of
cryptographic primitives. SAT-based methods can find optimal implementations for …

Current cryptographic algorithms are designed for server environments prioritizing security
with no limitations on hardware resources. They may not be suitable for emerging resource …

Lightweight block ciphers are important for implementing security services on constrained
devices today. In this paper, we propose a novel ultra-lightweight block cipher DULBC …

This paper presents WAGE, a new lightweight sponge-based authenticated cipher whose
underlying permutation is based on a 37-stage Galois NLFSR over F 2 7. At its core, the …

With the enormous growth in Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the volume of data shared
among IoT devices is vastly increasing. Extensive IoT device connectivity and substantial …
