Low cost hardware architecture design of KASUMI cipher.
Abstract: During the last decade, smart cards have become a widespread digital device. Advantages of smart cards are, for instance, low development costs and thepossibility to obtain a high degree of stability and security. They are frequently used for sensitive applications like money withdrawal or identification systems. The secured identification mechanism of smart cards depends on protocol which can be built in optimized hardware by using a Hash function whereas the heart core for any Hash function is an encryption cipher.
