Design of Hummingbird Algorithm for Advanced Crypto Systems

Abstract- Hummingbird is a new ultra-light cryptographic algorithm targeted for resource constrained devices like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, smart cards and wireless sensor nodes. In this project we implement an encryption and decryption core on the low cost Xilinx FPGA series Spartan-3.This project present a technique to reduce number of clock cycles to encrypt and decrypt the message.This reduction in number of clock cycles allows faster encryption and decryption of the message. The result based on a rough theoretical analysis and logic synthesis showed its efficiency in encrypting and decrypting the message
