Analysis of Bitstreamed Cryptographic Conversion Algorithms from the International Project eSTREAM

The winner of the international project for discovering of new stream ciphers eSTREAM, organized by the European Union, are determined: software-oriented SSC: HC-128; Rabbit; Salsa20/12; SOSEMANUK; hardware-oriented SSC: Grain; MICKEY; Trivium. Let us analyze the respective stream cryptoconversions more in details. The keystreams generator Rabbit was analyzed earlier, because of this it is not discussed further. To the analysis was involved also the SSC CryptMT, which was presented to the contest eSTREAM as well, but was not recognized as winner.
