Abstract

In this paper we present a new block cipher algorithm that can be used for data security over devices with limited resources ,e.g. smart cards, wireless sensors etc .The algorithm is 128-bit balanced Feistel structure cipher algorithm working in cipher block chaining mode of operation. The building components of the algorithm have good cryptographic properties in comparison with other standard cipher algorithms and it has passed the NIST statistical test with very good results. The algorithm has been implemented on Microblaze microprocessor (as an emulator) to evaluate its efficiency and suitability to work on constrained devices.
