ARMADILLO: A Multi-purpose Cryptographic Primitive Dedicated to Hardware

This paper describes and analyzes the security of a general-purpose cryptographic function design, with application in RFID tags and sensor networks. Based on these analyzes, we suggest minimum parameter values for the main components of this cryptographic function, called ARMADILLO. With fully serial architecture we obtain that 2923 GE could perform one compression function computation within 176 clock cycles, consuming 44
