The Chaskey Cipher: The Lighter — The Better
2 min readMay 13, 2020
Our current cryptography methods, such as with AES, are not fit for limited performance devices, such as RFID tags and 8-bit microprocessors. Thus we need to investigate the usage of light-weight methods, and which are more efficient on energy consumption, processor activity and memory.
Chaskey Cipher is light-weight cryptography method for signing messages (Message Authenticaiton Code —…
