LILI-128

The aims of the NESSIE (New European Schemes for Signatures, Integrity, and Encryption) project are to put together a range of strong cryptographic primitives and to contribute to the final phase of the AES block cipher standardisation process.

The LILI-128 keystream generator is a LFSR based synchronous stream cipher with a 128 bit key. The design offers large period and linear complexity, and is resistant to currently known styles of attack. LILI-128 is simple to implement in hardware or software.

LILI-128 has been submitted and accepted as one of the six NESSIE synchronous stream cipher candidates.

On 13 November 2000, LILI-128 was presented at the NESSIE Workshop.
