Abstract

A new stream cipher, Grain-128, is proposed. The design is very small in hardware and it targets environments with very limited resources in gate count, power consumption, and chip area. Grain-128 supports key size of 128 bits and IV size of 96 bits. The design is very simple and based on two shift registers, one linear and one nonlinear, and an output function
