simon-speck-supercop

Fast implementations of the SIMON and SPECK lightweight block ciphers for the SUPERCOP benchmark toolkit.

These implementations use counter mode to work as stream ciphers and are available in the following directories:

• SIMON
  • 64/96 - crypto_stream/simon6496ctr/
  • 64/128 - crypto_stream/simon64128ctr/
  • 128/128 - crypto_stream/simon128128ctr/
  • 128/192 - crypto_stream/simon128192ctr/
  • 128/256 - crypto_stream/simon128256ctr/
• SPECK
  • 64/96 - crypto_stream/speck6496ctr/
  • 64/128 - crypto_stream/speck64128ctr/
  • 128/128 - crypto_stream/speck128128ctr/
  • 128/192 - crypto_stream/speck128192ctr/
  • 128/256 - crypto_stream/speck128256ctr/

Each algorithm directory contains subdirectories for particular SIMD instruction sets, currently x86 CPUs with SSE4.2, AVX2, or 32-bit ARM CPUs with NEON.

Branches

The supercop branch is a copy of the latest SUPERCOP release. The simon-speck branch contains any updates to our SIMON and SPECK implementations since the last SUPERCOP release. The master branch includes this and other documentation merged with the supercop and simon-speck branches.

Getting the Code

There are a few ways to get these implementations without having to clone the entire repository.

Downloading only SIMON and SPECK

Archives are available containing just the SIMON and SPECK directories in .tar.xz - 17 KB, .tar.gz - 50 KB, and .zip - 167 KB format.

Patches

GitHub will provide a patch covering the changes between two branches. For example, a patch to update the latest SUPERCOP with our changes is available at the following:

https://github.com/nsacyber/simon-speck-supercop/compare/supercop...simon-speck.diff

This can be downloaded and and applied with commands like the following:

cd supercop-20161026
curl https://github.com/nsacyber/simon-speck-supercop/compare/supercop...simon-speck.diff -o simon-speck.diff
patch -p1 < simon-speck.diff

or

curl https://github.com/nsacyber/simon-speck-supercop/compare/supercop...simon-speck.diff | patch -p1
