Authenticated Encryption Schemes: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Authenticated encryption (AE) is a cryptographic construction that simultaneously protects confidentiality and integrity. A considerable amount of research has been devoted to the area since its formal inception in 2000. Different lines of research have been proposed to enhance the available schemes in terms of security, efficiency, and design and to implement new ideas. However, a comprehensive systematic literature review (SLR) of the topic has not been provided to the best of the authors' knowledge. This study fills this gap in the literature by proposing a framework for classifying AE schemes and highlighting past contributions to help researchers familiarize themselves with the current state and directions for future research in the area. This SLR covered AE schemes proposed from 2000 to 2020. A total of 217 articles, selected from eight sources, were categorized into independent schemes, CAESAR competition schemes, and NIST lightweight competition schemes. These schemes were then classified according to their design approaches, security-related properties, and functional features. Our analysis reveals that a significant outstanding challenge in AE is to balance security, efficiency, and the provision of desirable features.

Design a Lightweight Authentication Encryption Based on Stream Cipher and Chaotic Maps with Sponge Structure for Internet of Things Applications

“…There are different designs of sponge structure [4] as SpongeWrap [5], APE [6], CBEAM [7], Sp-AELM [8], Lsap [9], Beetle [10], Spookchain [11], T-sponge [12], TETsponge [13], CTR [14], ISAP [15], Beetle [16], Cyclist [17], Duplex [19,20].…”

“…Each of them has advantages and drawbacks. The work [4] shows these drawbacks depend on the investigate of functional features. The functional features are parallelization, online, inverse-free, singlepass, N. misuse resist, and lightweight functional features.…”

“…Read XOutput length 128 and get the value as the index of vector S-box. 4. Find the substitute value from the S-box vector.…”

“…In [4] classified the above winner finalists and the other different algorithms that submitted into the CAESAR and the NIST-LW competitions to evaluate the degree to which they provide the relevant functional features and security-related characteristics.…”

A Review of the NIST Lightweight Cryptography Finalists and Their Fault Analyses

“…Jimale et al [7] conducted a systematic literature review for classifying authenticated encryption (AE) schemes. Their study comprises a broad range of AE schemes, including submissions from the CAESAR and NIST LWC competitions.…”
