Custom Intellectual Property Block For Lblock Cipher

Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of a lightweight cryptographic cipher for a hardware-constrained device. Describes the basic problems of lightweight cryptography on the field programmablegate array (FPGA) and its one representative cipher LBlock. Furthermore deals with theimplementation of the LBlock cipher in a very high speed integrated circuit hardware description language(VHDL) on the FPGA. The LBlock cipher is used with a custom advanced extensible interface(AXI) wrapper for the creation of a custom intellectual property (IP) block. This IP block will be usedto cipher files on the development board ZYBO Z7-20 powered by Zynq-7000. The final part of thepaper describes testing of the IP block with a defined set of the inputs and the outputs are validatedwith the correct outputs.
