For a more accessible introduction to SIMON and SPECK take a look at this IETF mailing list message[1] especially the video with introduction by the NSA developers: "Today at the MIT Media Lab Legal Hack-a-thon on Identity we had a great presentation from a couple of designers from the NSA regarding their new lightweight ciphers called SIMON and SPECK. These ciphers are designed for low-power limited gate devices (such as RFID and similar devices). The MIT Media Lab Hack-a-thon page is here: http://iauth.org http://iauth.org The NSA presentation is here (You Tube): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtyo4nWGBwk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtyo4nWGBwk Their paper (PDF) is here: http://iauth.org/legal-hack-a-thon/simonspeckperformance-2/ http://iauth.org/legal-hack-a-thon/simonspeckperformance-2/ " Note: I changed the youtube video from a tinyurl link to the actual link.
