The eSTREAM Project
The origins of eSTREAM can be traced back to the 2004 RSA Data Security Conference. There, as part of the Cryptographer's Panel, Adi Shamir made some insightful comments on the state of stream ciphers. In particular, with AES [8] deployment being so ...
CryptMT3 Stream Cipher
CryptMT version 3 (CryptMT3) is a stream cipher obtained by combining a large LFSR and a nonlinear filter with memory using integer multiplication. Its period is proved to be no less than 219937 1, and the 8-bit output sequence is at least 1241-...
The Dragon Stream Cipher: Design, Analysis, and Implementation Issues
Dragon is a word-based stream cipher. It was submitted to the eSTREAM project in 2005 and has advanced to Phase 3 of the software profile. This paper discusses the Dragon cipher from three perspectives: design, security analysis and implementation. The ...
The Stream Cipher HC-128
We present the 128-bit version of the stream cipher HC-256.
Design of a New Stream Cipher--LEX
In this paper we define a notion of leak extraction from a block cipher. We demonstrate this new concept on an example of AES. A result is LEX: a simple AES-based stream cipher which is at least 2.5 times faster than AES both in software and in ...
Specification for NLSv2
NLSv2 is a synchronous stream cipher with message authentication functionality, submitted to the ECrypt Network of Excellence call for stream cipher primitives, profile 1A. NLSv2 is an updated version of NLS [19]. The minor change between NLS and NLSv2 ...
The Rabbit Stream Cipher
The stream cipher Rabbit was first presented at FSE 2003 [3], and no attacks against it have been published until now. With a measured encryption/decryption speed of 3.7 clock cycles per byte on a Pentium III processor, Rabbit does also provide very ...
The Salsa20 Family of Stream Ciphers
Salsa20 is a family of 256-bit stream ciphers designed in 2005 and submitted to eSTREAM, the ECRYPT Stream Cipher Project. Salsa20 has progressed to the third round of eSTREAM without any changes. The 20-round stream cipher Salsa20/20 is consistently ...

The Stream Cipher Edon80
Edon80 is a hardware binary additive synchronous stream cipher. It's properties are: 1.) The internal structure is highly pipelined; 2.) It is highly parallelizable, making it scalable from the speed of processing point of view; 3.) Its design ...
F-FCSR Stream Ciphers
Feedback with Carry Shift Registers (FCSRs) are a promising alternative to Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs) for the design of stream ciphers. The main difference between these two automata lies in the computation of the feedback. While LFSRs use ...
The Grain Family of Stream Ciphers
A new family of stream ciphers, Grain, is proposed. Two variants, a 80-bit and a 128-bit variant are specified, denoted Grain and Grain-128 respectively. The designs target hardware environments where gate count, power consumption and memory are very ...

The family of stream ciphers MICKEY (which stands for Mutual Irregular Clocking KEYstream generator) is aimed at resource-constrained hardware platforms. It is intended to have low complexity in hardware, while providing a high level of security. It ...
The Self-synchronizing Stream Cipher Moustique
We present a design approach for hardware-oriented self-synchronizing stream ciphers and illustrate it with a concrete design called <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">Moustique</Emphasis>. The latter is intended as a research cipher: it proves that the design ...
Cascade Jump Controlled Sequence Generator and Pomaranch Stream Cipher
Jump registers have been proposed as building blocks for stream ciphers. In this paper, a construction based on these principles is described. The proposed encryption primitive is a synchronous stream cipher accommodating a key of 128 bits and an IV of ...
Trivium
In this chapter, we propose a new stream cipher construction based on block cipher design principles. The main idea is to replace the building blocks used in block ciphers by equivalent stream cipher components. In order to illustrate this approach, we ...
