128비트 경량 블록암호 LEA의 저면적 하드웨어 설계

Abstract

This paper describes an efficient hardware design of Lightweight Encryption Algorithm (LEA) developed by National Security Research Institute(NSRI). The LEA crypto-processor supports for master key of 128-bit. To achieve small-area and low-power implementation, an efficient hardware sharing is employed, which shares hardware resources for encryption and decryption in round transformation block and key scheduler. The designed LEA crypto-processor was verified by FPGA implementation. The LEA core synthesized with Xilinx ISE has 1,498 slice elements, and the estimated throughput is 216.24 Mbps with 135.15 MHz.
