Feb 7, 2023 · The winner, a group of cryptographic algorithms called Ascon, will be published as NIST’s lightweight cryptography standard later in 2023. The chosen algorithms are designed to protect information created and transmitted by the Internet of Things (IoT), including its myriad tiny sensors and actuators.

Jan 24, 2022 · Summary. There are several emerging areas (e.g. sensor networks, healthcare, distributed control systems, the Internet of Things, cyber physical systems) in which highly-constrained devices are interconnected, typically communicating wirelessly with one another, and working in concert to accomplish some task.
Jan 3, 2017 · The first round of the NIST lightweight cryptography standardization process began with the announcement of 56 Round 1 in April 2019 and ended in August 2019. NISTIR 8268 explains the evaluation of the first-round candidates and names 32 candidate algorithms advancing to the second round of the evaluation process. Round 2.

Block ciphers encrypt one block of plaintext bits at a time, to a block of ciphertext bits, through multiple rounds, and using a secret key. Each round is a sequence of several simple transformations, which provide confusion and diffusion [522]. In each round, a round key is used, which is derived from the secret key using a key schedule algorithm....
Stream ciphers encrypt small portions of data (one or several bits) at a time. By using a secret key, they generate a pseudorandom keystream, which is then combined with the plaintext bits to produce the ciphertext bits. Very often the combining function is bitwise XORing, and in that case we speak about binary additive stream ciphers. The basic se...
A hash function is any function that maps a variable length input message into a fixed length output. The output is usually called a hashcode, message digest, hash value or hash result. Cryptographic hash functions must be preimage (one-way), second preimage and collision resistant. Usually the message is first padded and then divided into blocks o...
A message authentication code (MAC) protects the integrity and authenticity of a given message, by generating a tag from the message and a secret key. MAC schemes can be constructed from block ciphers (e.g., CBC-MAC (part of the ISO/IEC 9797-1:1999 standard) or OCB-MAC [504]), from cryptographic hash functions (e.g., HMAC (RFC 2104)), etc. Three li...
Authenticated encryption (AE) schemes combine the functions of ciphers and MACs in one primitive, so they provide confidentiality, integrity, and authentication of a given message. Besides the plaintext and the secret key, they usually accept variable length Associated Data (AEAD schemes), a public nonce, and an optional secret nonce. AD is a part ...
