Abstract

In this paper we present the design considerations of lightweight encryption algorithm. Our aim is to demonstrate how to achieve lightweight block ciphers efficient software performance for low-resource embedded devices. Several lightweight block ciphers are proposed; we selected the most recent and suitable for low-resource embedded systems such as RFID tags. In this work, we analyzed the software implementation of lightweight block ciphers using FELICS (Fair Evaluation of Lightweight Cryptographic Systems) a benchmarking framework which computes execution time, RAM consumption and ROM occupation on two largely used devices: 8-bit AVR microcontroller and 16-bit MSP microcontroller. Using the same evaluation conditions, we selected the most suitable ciphers for low-resource devices.
