For many latency-critical operations in computer systems, like memory reads/writes, adding encryption can have a big impact on the performance.
Hence, the existence of cryptographic primitives with good security properties and minimal latency is a key element in the wide-spread implementation of such security measures.
% In this paper, we present two new families of low-latency permutations/block ciphers called Sonic …
