IAESR: IoT-oriented authenticated encryption based on iShadow round function by Yanshuo Zhang, Liqiu Li, Hengyu Bao, Xiaohong Qin, Zhiyuan Zhang, Xiaoyi Duan

“…It then combines this with the duplex sponge structure to propose the IoT-oriented authenticated encryption based on the iShadow round function (IAESR). The integration of iShadow with the duplex sponge structure achieves a balance between security and efficiency through three key mechanisms: (1) The sponge’s capacity (64/128-b for IAESR-32/64) provides provable indistinguishability under chosen-plaintext attack (IND-CPA) and chosen-ciphertext attack (IND-CCA) security bounds, effectively resisting generic attacks with an adversarial advantage limited to O(q2/2c); (2) the duplex mode’s single-pass processing reduces memory overhead by reusing the permutation state; and (3) iShadow’s ARX operations reduce energy consumption to 0.4–0.5 µJ/byte on 32-b microcontrollers, outperforming AES-GCM by 20–30%. …”
