Abstract:

We have become more cognizant of communication since the 19th century. However, we have known how important communication is for daily life for the last three or four decades. It is merely a method of transmitting data from one end to the other. A transmitter and a receiver are the two ends. Both of these components must be present for communication to succeed. As the application of this process continues to grow, new techniques or tactics have been developed. The human being then learned that communication is crucial, but so is keeping that communication safe. Claimed to be a trustworthy cipher is CLEFIA. The CLEFIA specs and algorithm design can be assessed for performance and security by cryptographers and the general public. For ISO/IEC lightweight cryptography, the CLEFIA cipher is a popular choice. It is a generalised Feistel network with four nodes. This architecture requires little room, both physically and virtually. The Diffusion Switching Mechanism in CLEFIA shields the system from serious assaults. Additionally, the primary scheduling and data processing components of CLEFIA perform comparable tasks, which decreases the gate size. In this study, the execution times of the Low Weight Cryptographic CLEFIA old and modified algorithms are discussed. This calls for using a product from Texas Instruments (TI), the MSP-EXP430FR5994 LaunchPad Development Kit from the MSP430 family. The CLEFIA supports 128- bit blocks and offers 192-bit and 256-bit key sizes.
