Lightweight cryptography refers to the design and implementation of security algorithms that are targeted to digital hardware embedded systems constrained in resources, such as area, power, and energy. Examples of such systems include RFID tags, smartcards, and nodes in wireless sensor networks and the constrained nature of such systems poses unique challenges for the design of system security. The intent of this research is to investigate the design, implementation, and application of lightweight cryptographic algorithms such as block ciphers, stream ciphers, and hash functions targeted to embedded systems.

轻量级密码学是指针对受资源限制（如面积、功率和能源）的数字硬件嵌入式系统的安全算法的设计和实现。此类系统的例子包括RFID标签、智能卡和无线传感器网络中的节点，此类系统的约束性质对系统安全设计提出了独特的挑战。本研究的目的是研究轻量级加密算法的设计、实现和应用，例如针对嵌入式系统的分组密码、流密码和哈希函数。
