How Small Can S-boxes Be? by Chenhao Jia, Tingting Cui, Qing Ling, Yan He, Kai Hu, Yu Sun, Meiqin Wang

“…Firstly, we evaluate the upper and lower bounds upon the minimum area of S-boxes, by proposing a Prim-like greedy algorithm and utilizing properties of balanced Boolean functions to construct bijective S-boxes. Secondly, an SAT-aided automatic search tool is proposed that can simultaneously consider multiple cryptographic properties such as the uniform, linearity, algebraic degree, and the implementation costs such as area, and gate depth complexity. …”
