“…To measure the software performance of ModSpeck in terms of throughput denoted in megabits per second using (1) based on the study of [13], the following parameters were considered. Block Size: it is simply the length of the input and output size in bits that can be transferred by the keyed block cipher.…”

The lightweight block ciphers are created for the resource-constrained Internet of Things (IoT). Hence, their implementations on software and/or hardware should augment the resource application. Thus, this study investigates the implementation of the modified Speck on two Arduino platforms to determine its performance on software and hardware separately. Through the analysis and comparison of experimental data results, it was found out that the ModSpeck has 0.25% higher statistical test compared to NIST standard accepted success rate and only 4% slower than its original cipher due to the employment of key derivation function in terms of software implementation. On its hardware performance tests, it uses only 50% more energy and consumes only 1.8% more memory as compared to selected lightweight algorithms. Its randomness exhibits good competitiveness in various aspects such as high throughput, low energy consumption and remarkable figure of merit.

“…The ambition of this paper is also to evaluate their resistance against SCA, especially the common CPA. Of course in the literature many papers address lightweight cryptography algorithm and implementation [18], [19], but comparisons are often difficult and not based on the same technology, or same SCA methods [16], [17]. The main interest herein is to propose common criteria to make this evaluation.…”

Lightweight cryptography has recently emerged as a strong requirement for any highly constrained connected device; encryption/decryption processes must strike the balance between speed, area, power efficiency, and security robustness. The aim of this paper is to study the potential gains of the lightweight cryptography algorithms compared to the classic ones in hardware implementation. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as the standard, PRESENT and the very recently published GIFT are considered along with several optimized hardware versions of each one. Low-and high-security levels with 80-and 128bit key length respectively are compared. They are all implemented on a Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA, exploiting different slice configurations to evaluate their performances. The results show the expected benefits in terms of throughput and area, which allows selecting the best lightweight crypto-ciphers depending on the target device or application. In addition, correlation power analysis is performed on each cipher to estimate their resistance against side-channel analysis. INDEX TERMS Lightweight cryptography, block cipher, substitution-permutation-network, advanced encryption standard (AES), PRESENT, GIFT.

“…In the survey, it has been emphasised that efficient implementations of the ciphers are closely dependent on the selection of appropriate architecture that results in low implementation complexity and high-performance when the architectures are realised in the actual hardware. A comparative study related to software and hardware implementations has been done in [14]. In the implementation, a reconfigurable soft core microprocessor on Xilinx Kintex-7 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device has been used.…”

“…The cipher has been standardised by ISO/IEC 29192-2 in the year 2012 [15]. The algorithm when implemented in hardware consumes a low amount of resource and provides an adequate level of data security [14,16]. Some of the hardware architectures of the PRESENT cipher that have been recently proposed include [17][18][19][20][21].…”

Data security is essential for the proliferation of the Internet of things and cyber-physical system technologies. Data security can be efficiently achieved by incorporating lightweight cryptography techniques. In this study, a set of highperformance hardware architectures for PRESENT lightweight block cipher are proposed that perform encryption, decryption and integrated encryption/decryption operations. Datapath of the architectures is of 64 bit width that supports standard 80 and 128 bits key lengths. The architectures are synthesised on Xilinx Virtex-5 XC5VLX110T (ff1136-1) field-programmable gate array device of ML-505 platform. To perform functional verification, a large number of test vectors are used. Performance measurement is performed by evaluating maximum frequency, throughput, power dissipation and energy consumption. Experimentally, it is found that the proposed architectures are resource-efficient, high-performance and suitable for lightweight, latency-critical and low-power applications in comparison with existing architectures.
