Radio frequency identification (RFID) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are the devices with constrained environments, have been expanded with the current trend of network capabilities and ubiquitous computing, which spread wings of internet of things (IoT). Piccolo is one of the ultra lightweight block cipher, uses 64-bit plaintext and two versions of keys 80 and 128-bit, makes them suitable for low computing devices. Different hardware architectures have been proposed to make them suitable for the low area, low power, and high speed applications. The strategies like loop rolled, parallel round based and pipelined architectures are employed to optimise the hardware design for low resource applications. The proposed architectures have been implemented on field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) achieving throughput of 691.54, 613.26, and 1195.54 Mbps as well as slice count of 47 results in low area and low power.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
