S-box Security Analysis of NIST Lightweight Cryptography Candidates: A Critical Empirical Study

arXiv:2404.06094v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In the resource-constrained world of the digital landscape, lightweight cryptography plays a critical role in safeguarding information and ensuring the security of various systems, devices, and communication channels. Its efficient and resource-friendly nature makes it the ideal solution for applications where computational power is limited. In response to the growing need for platform-specific implementations, NIST issued a call for standardization of Lightweight cryptography algorithms in 2018. Ascon emerged as the winner of this competition. NIST …
