| Abstract | In this paper we compare four lightweight stream ciphers,
MICKEY 2.0, WG-8, Grain and Trivium, which can be used for data
encryption in the Internet of Things. At first we provide a brief overview
of each algorithm. This includes their basic functional principle, their
different specifications, possible hardware implementations and their
complexity. We conclude the overview with a short security evaluation.
Finally, we provide a comparison of the algorithms pointing out differences,
similarities and their applicability in the Internet of Things. |
