PRESENT

PRESENT is a lightweight block cipher, developed by the Orange Labs (France), Ruhr University Bochum (Germany) and the Technical University of Denmark in 2007.

PRESENT was designed by Andrey Bogdanov, Lars R. Knudsen, Gregor Leander, Christof Paar, Axel Poschmann, Matthew J.

[1] The algorithm is notable for its compact size (about 2.5 times smaller than AES).

The non-linear layer is based on a single 4-bit S-box which was designed with hardware optimizations in mind.

PRESENT is intended to be used in situations where low-power consumption and high chip efficiency is desired.
