| Guidelines |
| NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) has an ongoing project for evaluating algorithms and protocols for lightweight cryptography [1]. More than fifty candidates submitted their algorithms for evaluation. For many of them cryptographic attacks have been found.
In this thesis, the applicant should survey these attacks, explain in detail how a selected number of them work, and implement those in a computer programming language. Extending them, or applying similar ideas to different ciphers would be a part of a good thesis. The thesis should contain an introduction to lightweight cryptography and a brief explanation of the NIST selection process. This should include detailed explanations of the underlying important primitives and general constructions such as authenticated encryption with associated data, sponge and duplex construction. |
