Systematization of a 256-bit lightweight block cipher Marvin
This work provides a new cipher for lightweight cryptography applications, but appears incremental as it builds on existing Extended LS designs.
The paper proposes a new 256-bit lightweight block cipher named Marvin, which belongs to the family of Extended LS designs, to address the need for secure information in lightweight cryptography.
In a world heavily loaded by information, there is a great need for keeping specific information secure from adversaries. The rapid growth in the research field of lightweight cryptography can be seen from the list of the number of lightweight stream as well as block ciphers that has been proposed in the recent years. This paper focuses only on the subject of lightweight block ciphers. In this paper, we have proposed a new 256 bit lightweight block cipher named as Marvin, that belongs to the family of Extended LS designs.
