RFID tags are tiny computational devices with no internal source of power, which are likely to be deployed in a large number of applications in the next few years. In this talk I will describe several light weight security algorithms which were designed specifically for such devices, and in particular a new hash function called SQUASH which is provably at least as one-way as the Rabin scheme. It can be implemented with a very small number of gates on RFID tags, and it is extremely fast on larger processors with arbitrary word sizes.

    BEANIE is a tweakable block cipher recently published at ToSC aiming for memory encryption of microcontroller units. In line with this goal, it handles small plaintexts of only 32 bits and has a low latency. In this paper, we propose the first third-party analysis of the two variants of BEANIE. By carefully leveraging structural properties of the cipher and taking advantage of its distinctive[…]
