Abstract
Lightweight cryptographic primitives are essential for securing pervasive embedded devices like RFID tags, smart cards, and wireless sensor nodes. In this paper, we present a lightweight stream cipher , which is tailored from the well-known Welch-Gong () stream cipher family, for resource-constrained devices. inherits the good randomness and cryptographic properties of the stream cipher family and is resistant to the most common attacks against stream ciphers. The software implementations of the stream cipher on two popular low-power microcontrollers as well as the extensive comparison with other lightweight cryptography implementations highlight that in the context of securing lightweight embedded applications has favorable performance and low energy consumption.
