SIMON and SPECK: Block Ciphers for the Internet of Things
Abstract
The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) developed the SIMON and SPECK families of lightweight block ciphers as an aid for securing applications in very constrained environments where AES may not be suitable. This paper summarizes the algorithms, their design rationale, along with current cryptanalysis and implementation results.
