Abstract

This research has investigated the performance analysis of lightweight encryption algorithms, which are using in RFID applications. In the first part, the codes of the investigated ciphers are analyzed, and then, four encryption algorithms include TEA, HIGHT, KATAN, and KLEIN are implemented on AVR Microcontroller to evaluate the number of CPU clock cycle for each cipher. In the last part, the results of two previous parts are compared.
