ABSTRACT
In this paper we
propose two families of block ciphers, SIMON and SPECK, each of which comes in
a variety of widths and key sizes. While many lightweight block ciphers exist,
most were designed to perform well on a single platform and were not meant to
provide high performance across a range of devices. The aim of SIMON and SPECK
is to fill the need for secure, flexible, and analyzable lightweight block
ciphers. Each offers excellent performance on hardware and software platforms,
is flexible enough to admit a variety of implementations on a given platform,
and is amenable to analysis using existing techniques. Both perform
exceptionally well across the full spectrum of lightweight applications, but
SIMON is tuned for optimal performance in hardware, and SPECK for optimal performance
in software.
