    Robust and Energy-Efficient Hardware Architectures for Dizy Stream Cipher
    (IEEE, 2024) Schmid, Martin; Arul, Tolga; Kavun, Elif Bilge; Regazzoni, Francesco; Kara, Orhun
    In the era of ubiquitous computing, efficient and secure implementations of cryptographic hardware are crucial. This paper extends the hardware implementations of a Small Internal State Stream (SISS) cipher, namely DIZY. Previous work shows that DIZY's hardware performance, in terms of area cost and power consumption, is among the best when compared to notable stream ciphers, especially for frame-based encryptions requiring frequent initialization. In this study, we initially optimize the existing hardware implementation and then evaluate the energy efficiency of DIZY. We implement different unrolled versions of DIZY and analyze their energy consumption. Furthermore, we address physical security by integrating masking techniques into the DIZY S-box to protect the implementation against side-channel attacks. We thoroughly investigate the associated overhead and apply optimizations to reduce it, ensuring robust security without compromising efficiency. Our results present a secure, energy-efficient, and lightweight cryptographic hardware design for the stream cipher DIZY, making it suitable for various applications, including Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems.

    A New Construction Method for Keystream Generators
    (IEEE, 2023) Gül, Çağdaş; Kara, Orhun
    We introduce a new construction method of diffusion layers for Substitution Permutation Network (SPN) structures along with its security proofs. The new method can be used in block ciphers, stream ciphers, hash functions, and sponge constructions. Moreover, we define a new stream cipher mode of operation through a fixed pseudorandom permutation and provide its security proofs in the indistinguishability model. We refer to a stream cipher as a Small Internal State Stream (SISS) cipher if its internal state size is less than twice its key size. There are not many studies about how to design and analyze SISS ciphers due to the criterion on the internal state sizes, resulting from the classical tradeoff attacks. We utilize our new mode and diffusion layer construction to design an SISS cipher having two versions, which we call DIZY. We further provide security analyses and hardware implementations of DIZY. In terms of area cost, power, and energy consumption, the hardware performance is among the best when compared to some prominent stream ciphers, especially for frame-based encryptions that need frequent initialization. Unlike recent SISS ciphers such as Sprout, Plantlet, LILLE, and Fruit; DIZY does not have a keyed update function, enabling efficient key changing. © 2005-2012 IEEE.
