TLDR
A new 64-bit block cipher mCrypton with three key size options (64 bits, 96 bits and 128 bits), specifically designed for use in resource-constrained tiny devices, such as low-cost RFID tags and sensors is presented.Abstract:
This paper presents a new 64-bit block cipher mCrypton with three key size options (64 bits, 96 bits and 128 bits), specifically designed for use in resource-constrained tiny devices, such as low-cost RFID tags and sensors It's designed by following the overall architecture of Crypton but with redesign and simplification of each component function to enable much compact implementation in both hardware and software A simple hardware implementation of mCrypton is also presented to demonstrate its suitability to our target applications Our prototype implementation based on the straightforward 1 cycle/round architecture just requires about 3500 to 4100 gates for both encryption and decryption, and about 2400 to 3000 gates for encryption only (under 013μm CMOS technology) The result shows that the hardware complexity of mCrypton is quite well within an economic range of low-cost RFID tags and sensors A more compact implementation under development promises that further size reduction around 30% could be achievable using the 5 cycles/round architectureread more

PRESENT: An Ultra-Lightweight Block Cipher
Andrey Bogdanov,Lars R. Knudsen,Gregor Leander,Christof Paar,Axel Poschmann,Matthew Robshaw,Yannick Seurin,C. Vikkelsoe +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe an ultra-lightweight block cipher, present, which is suitable for extremely constrained environments such as RFID tags and sensor networks, but it is not suitable for very large networks such as sensor networks.

The LED block cipher
TL;DR: This work considers the resistance of ciphers, and LED in particular, to related-key attacks, and is able to derive simple yet interesting AES-like security proofs for LED regarding related- or single- key attacks.

KATAN and KTANTAN -- A Family of Small and Efficient Hardware-Oriented Block Ciphers
TL;DR: A new family of very efficient hardware oriented block ciphers divided into two flavors, which is more compact in hardware, as the key is burnt into the device (and cannot be changed), and achieves encryption speed of 12.5 KBit/sec.

Piccolo: an ultra-lightweight blockcipher
TL;DR: Piccolo is one of the competitive ultra-lightweight blockciphers which is suitable for extremely constrained environments such as RFID tags and sensor nodes and its efficiency on the energy consumption which is evaluated by energy per bit is also remarkable.

TL;DR: This paper presents a block cipher that is optimized with respect to latency when implemented in hardware and holds that decryption for one key corresponds to encryption with a related key, which is of independent interest and proves its soundness against generic attacks.

Telos: enabling ultra-low power wireless research
TL;DR: Telos is the latest in a line of motes developed by UC Berkeley to enable wireless sensor network (WSN) research, a new mote design built from scratch based on experiences with previous mote generations, with three major goals to enable experimentation: minimal power consumption, easy to use, and increased software and hardware robustness.

TinySec: a link layer security architecture for wireless sensor networks
TL;DR: TinySec is introduced, the first fully-implemented link layer security architecture for wireless sensor networks, and results on a 36 node distributed sensor network application clearly demonstrate that software based link layer protocols are feasible and efficient, adding less than 10% energy, latency, and bandwidth overhead.
