> The winner, a group of cryptographic algorithms called Ascon, will be published as NIST’s lightweight cryptography standard later in 2023. Very cool. Does anyone have a rundown on how Ascon works? Or at least, what... it even is? I'm assuming its a block cipher. But I'm not seeing very many details here... ----------- https://csrc.nist.gov/News/2023/lightweight-cryptography-nist-selects-ascon https://csrc.nist.gov/News/2023/lightweight-cryptography-nis... Some amount of details here. Not enough details for me to understand it yet.
