Abstract

Reports on Computer Systems TechnologyThe Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) promotes the U.S. economy and public welfare by providing technical leadership for the Nation's measurement and standards infrastructure.ITL develops tests, test methods, reference data, proof of concept implementations, and technical analyses to advance the development and productive use of information technology.ITL's responsibilities include the development of management, administrative, technical, and physical standards and guidelines for the cost-effective security and privacy of other than national security-related information in federal information systems.

  • NIST-recommended methods for hashing are SPONGENT, Quark, PHOTON, and Lesamnta-LW, as they all have a small memory footprint and input of just 256 characters.

    “The NIST-recommended methods for hashing (as a part of its early initiative on lightweight cryptography [100]) are SPONGENT, Quark, PHOTON, and Lesamnta-LW, as they all have a small memory footprint and input (of just 256 characters).”

    From Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA): A Comprehensive Survey (2022) · cites this paper as [100]

    The Introduction describes a NIST initiative to select lightweight authenticated-encryption and hashing schemes, supporting the claim's general context. But Table 2 lists first-round candidates rather than recommending the four named methods, and the report gives no shared small-memory-footprint or 256-character input specification for them. (LLM, conf=0.87)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • For constrained devices, lightweight cryptography is highly desirable as indicated in NIST's report.

    “For such constrained devices, lightweight cryptography is highly desirable as indicated in NIST's report [100].”

  • Lesamnta-LW is based on AES, is 5-times faster than SHA-256, and requires a RAM of only 50 bytes on an 8-bit processor.

    “Lesamnta-LW is based on AES (with Sbox structure similar to that of AES), and is 5-times faster than SHA-256 and requires a RAM of only 50 bytes on an 8-bit processor.”

    From Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA): A Comprehensive Survey (2022) · cites this paper as [100]

    The first-round candidate table in the “Fountain, Yarará and Coral” section (p. 5) lists cryptographic designs but does not mention Lesamnta-LW. Searches of our copy for Lesamnta-LW, SHA-256, and the 50-byte RAM figure found no passage addressing its AES-based design, speed, or memory use. (LLM, conf=0.75)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
