| Abstract | In this paper we compare two lightweight stream ciphers,
MICKEY 2.0 and WG-8, which can be used for data encryption in the
Internet of Things. At first we provide a brief overview of both algorithms.
This includes their basic functional principle, their different specifications,
possible hardware implementations and their complexity. We conclude
the overview with a short security evaluation. Finally, we provide a
comparison of both algorithms pointing out differences, similarities and
their applicability in the Internet of Things. |
