Ensuring Fast Implementations of Symmetric Ciphers on the Intel Pentium 4 and Beyond

چکیده
Cipher design is a multi-faceted process. Many designers focus on security, or present novel designs, but neglect to consider the impact on their ciphers’ efficiency. This paper presents simple guidelines for ensuring efficient symmetric cipher implementations on the Intel Pentium 4 and associated architectures. The paper examines the suitability of a handful of ECRYPT eSTREAM ciphers for the platform, including Dragon, HC-256, MAG, Mir-1, Phelix, and Py.

How to Maximize Software Performance of Symmetric Primitives on Pentium III and 4 Processors
This paper discusses the state-of-the-art software optimization methodology for symmetric cryptographic primitives on Pentium III and 4 processors. We aim at maximizing speed by considering the internal pipeline architecture of these processors. This is the first paper studying an optimization of ciphers on Prescott, a new core of Pentium 4. Our AES program with 128-bit key achieves 251 cycles/...

متن کاملFast Implementations of AES Candidates
Of the five AES finalists four—MARS, RC6, Rijndael, Twofish— have not only (expected) good security but also exceptional performance on the PC platforms, especially on those featuring the Pentium Pro, the NIST AES analysis platform. In the current paper we present new performance numbers of the mentioned four ciphers resulting from our carefully optimized assemblylanguage implementations on the...
متن کاملA new CPA resistant software implementation for symmetric ciphers with smoothed power consumption: SIMON case study
In this paper we propose a new method for applying hiding countermeasure against CPA attacks. This method is for software implementation, based on smoothing power consumption of the device. This method is evaluated on the SIMON scheme as a case study; however, it is not relying on any specific SIMON features. Our new method includes only AND equivalent and XOR equivalent operations since every ...
متن کاملStream ciphers and the eSTREAM project
Stream ciphers are an important class of symmetric cryptographic algorithms. The eSTREAM project contributed significantly to the recent increase of activity in this field. In this paper, we present a survey of the eSTREAM project. We also review recent time/memory/data and time/memory/key trade-offs relevant for the generic attacks on stream ciphers.
