Abstract

IoT devices have been widely used with the advent of 5G. These devices contain a large amount of private data during transmission. It is primely important for ensuring their security. Therefore, we proposed a lightweight block cipher based on dynamic S-box named DBST. It is introduced for devices with limited hardware resources and high throughput requirements. DBST is a 128-bit block cipher supporting 64-bit key, which is based on a new generalized Feistel variant structure. It retains the consistency and significantly boosts the diffusion of the traditional Feistel structure. The SubColumns of round function is implemented by combining bit-slice technology with subkeys. The S-box is dynamically associated with the key. It has been demonstrated that DBST has a good avalanche effect, low hardware area, and high throughput. Our S-box has been proven to have fewer differential features than RECTANGLE S-box. The security analysis of DBST reveals that it can against impossible differential attack, differential attack, linear attack, and other types of attacks.
