[Resource Topic] 2024/103: ChaCha related 64 bit oriented ARX cipher

Welcome to the resource topic for 2024/103

Title:
ChaCha related 64 bit oriented ARX cipher

Authors: Daniel Nager

Abstract:

A cipher scheme related to ChaCha with the variation of using 64 bit operations instead of 32 bits, and the same 512 bit state size, is presented. We will provide strong argumentation to assert that the same security of ChaCha can be obtained with half number of instructions for the same number of 20 rounds. Also, an strategy to implement this cipher on SIMD extensions is presented, with a maximal throughput of about 3.37 bytes per cycle on a 256 bit SIMD extension with at least 11 vector registers.
