“…The MLED-128, as suggested, demonstrates enhancements in operating frequency by 6.95%, throughput by 5.71%, and efficiency by 39.14% when compared to the RECTANGLE-128 [38]. When compared to the PRESENT-128 algorithm [18], the MLED-128 shows a big improvement in latency (91.8% less), throughput (87.9% more), and efficiency (50%) [39]. The MLED-128 algorithm, as suggested, demonstrates a notable enhancement in latency by 90.23%, throughput by 90.12%, and efficiency by 65.51% when compared to the XTEA-128 algorithm [40].…”

Block cipher algorithms are crucial for securing applications on resource-constrained devices. This paper introduces the modified light encryption device (MLED) cipher-decipher architecture, specifically designed to accommodate both 64-bit and 128-bit key sizes while maintaining a consistent 64-bit block and data size. MLED comprises 8-step and 12-step processes for MLED-64 and MLED-128 modules, respectively. Each stage involves a four-round operation followed by an add-round key operation. The add constant module (ACM) and mixed column modules (MCMs) within the round operation have been optimized for improved latency and throughput. Performance analysis reveals that MLED-64/128 requires less than 1% of the available slices and operates at 125 MHz on the Artix-7 FPGA. It achieves delays of 7.5 and 12.5 clock cycles for MLED-64 and MLED-128, respectively, translating to throughputs of 1366.5 Mbps and 819.89 Mbps. Additionally, MLED-64/128 exhibits hardware efficiencies of 2.373 and 0.986 Mbps/slice, respectively. Comparative evaluations with existing LED and other block ciphers (BCs) demonstrate that MLED-64/128 achieves significant improvements in latency, throughput, and efficiency, making it a compelling choice for securing resource-constrained IoT applications.

The wireless sensor networks played substantial role in many fields such as pollution monitoring system, health care system, military operations system, agriculture industries, bridges monitoring, and wastewater treatment systems. Various types of data are exchanged via these networks which can be exploited by intruders or unauthorized users. Hence, there is a demand to protect the data confidentiality in these networks. The cipher algorithms can be used to protect the data confidentiality in these networks. This research presents some applications of wireless networks. Moreover, the research focused on study some cipher algorithms and different features of these ciphers. In this context, the encryption keys, input block, encryption process, and components of these algorithms have been covered. Thus, these cipher algorithms can provide suitable level of protection for the WSN networks.

Threshold implementation (TI) is a lightweight countermeasure against side-channel attacks when glitches happen. As to masking schemes, an S-box is the key part to protection. In this paper, we propose a general first-order lightweight TI scheme for 4 × 4 S-boxes and name it as MiniSat-lightweight-threshold implementation (MS-LW-TI). First, we use MiniSat to optimally decompose an S-box into the least number of three different logic gate operations, AND, OR, and XOR. Among these operations, we define two primitives and the extension of two primitives for TI design. Furthermore, we prove that the primitives and their extensions strictly comply with the security properties. Finally, we implement MS-LW-TI on Xilinx Spartan-6 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to show that the S-boxes of PRESENT, GIFT, and PICCOLO consume only 17, 15, and 13 look-up-tables (LUTs), 16, 9, and 16 flip-flops (FFs), 6, 5, and 6 slices, respectively. Compared with the existing lightweight TI design, our TI for PRESENT S-box has a 22%, 38%, and 25% reduction of LUTs, FFs, and slices to the design by Shahmirzadi and Moradi at IACR Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems (TCHES) 2021, and our TI for GIFT S-box has a 6%, 25%, and 28% reduction of LUTs, FFs, and slices to the design by Jati et al., which is the smallest.
