FPGA-based Assessment of Midori and GIFT Lightweight Block Ciphers
Lightweight block ciphers are today of paramount importance to provide security services in constrained environments. Recent studies have questioned the security properties of PRESENT, which makes it evident the need to study alternative ciphers. In this work we provide hardware architectures for Midori and GIFT, and compare them against implementations for PRESENT and GIMLI under fair conditions. The hardware description for our designs is made publicly available
MIPS Assembly Language Implementation of GIFT-64-128 Encryption
The GIFT-64-128 block cipher encryption is implemented in MIPS assembly language. The program is assembled and simulated using the QtSPIM simu-lator and produces functionally correct results. This implementation requires 22,764 clock cycles per 64-bit block encryption, as well as 1,296 bytes of code, and 192 bytes of data memory. The major functional units of the im-plementation are analyzed in terms of cycle count and bytes of code
