Abstract:
The focus of this work is to provide authentication and
confidentiality of messages in a swift and cost effective manner to
suit the fast growing Internet applications. A nested hash
function with lower computational and storage demands is
designed with a view to providing authentication as also to
encrypt the message as well as the hash code using a fast stream
cipher MAJE4 with a variable key size of 128-bit or 256-bit for
achieving confidentiality. Both nested Hash function and MAJE4
stream cipher algorithm use primitive computational operators
commonly found in microprocessors; this makes the method
simple and fast to implement both in hardware and software.
Since the memory requirement is less, it can be used for
handheld devices for security purposes.
