Present, ” a lightweight encryption method that is part of the KU Leuven is developed by the ISO and the IEC are included in a new standard for cryptographic algorithms that have little processing power is needed.
The Present-encryptiestandaard is developed by Andrey Bogdanov of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in collaboration with French colleagues from Orange Labs, Ruhr University Bochum and the Technical University of Denmark. The algorithm would be in contrast to the widely applied aes much less processing power is needed and thus the energy consumption reduction. The lightweight defined Present, with key sizes of 80 or 128 and a block size of 64bit, would therefore, among others, can be applied in mobile phones, implants, and car keys.
The quality of the Present-encryption has been extensively studied by experts and is now as safe as labeled. This is the way for standardization. Present will be after the green light by the ISO and the IEC are included in a global standard for lightweight encryption schemes. The KU Leuven argues that thus the way is free for developers to use the new encryption method wide to apply.
