Lightweight Cryptography
Performance Benchmarking
In January 2022, the George Mason University Cryptographic Engineering Research Group (CERG) team published three calls to assist in evaluating protected implementations of the finalists:
The NIST team encourages submitters and third parties to contribute to this initiative.
Performance benchmarking results are provided in the following pages:
