Abstract |
The Stone Cipher is a metamorphic cipher that uses a variable word size and variable-size user’s key. The cipher employs two basic functions the encryption function and a Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRG) that is based on a specially-developed one-way hash function. Four bit-balanced operations are pseudo-randomly selected to generate the sequence of operations constituting the cipher. These operations are XOR, INV, ROR, NOP for bitwise xor, invert, rotate right and no operation respectively. The user key is encrypted using the cipher encryption function with agreed-upon initial values then it is used to generate the bit stream required to select these operations. In this work, we provide a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hardware implementation of this cipher. |
