Abstract :
A new self-synchronous stream cipher has been implemented in a single Xilinx 4000 series FPGA chip, achieving a throughput of 60 Mbps. The cipher provides automatic resynchronisation after a bit-slip error, and offers more security than previous proposals of its type. We discuss cryptographic aspects of the cipher´s design, comment on its flexibility, and give details of the FPGA chip resource usage.
