“…FFCSA package [16] requires FSR package [18], designed for cryptographic modules with filtering structures [17], such as the WG cipher [8]. FFCSA package adds support for tower fields to the hardware design flow in [17]. FSR and FFCSA were used during design stage of authenticated encryption scheme WAGE [1,2,15].…”

In this work we present the new GAP package FFCSA - Finite Field Constructions, Search, and Algorithms. It was designed to enable Design Space Exploration for hardware implementations of cryptographic algorithms defined over finite fields. FFCSA constructions and searches are used to produce the design space, and FFCSA algorithms, parameterized for the current candidate field, are used to generate expressions needed for implementation in hardware.

This survey presents the rich history of the Welch-Gong (WG) Stream cipher family. It has been a long journey that lead the WG stream ciphers to become practical. The evolutionary path is a combination of mathematical endeavour and engineering striving to transfer pure mathematical functions to practical encryption algorithms for various applications. This path began as the pioneering work on WG transformation sequences with 2-level autocorrelation, leading to important breakthroughs in the early 2000’s, such as the submission of the first WG stream cipher to the eSTREAM competition in 2005 and the subsequent introduction of the WG stream cipher family WG(m, l), followed by extensive work on particular instances proposed for various (mostly lightweight) applications. A recent construction using a WG permutation is the authenticated encryption WAGE, submitted to the NIST LWC competition in 2019. The story of the WG stream cipher is by far not finished. The future opens numerous possibilities for WG stream ciphers and WAGE, with applications in both lightweight environments and in high-performance computing. We conclude the survey with new ideas and open problems.
