IEEE Draft Standard for Low-Rate Wireless Networks Amendment: Ascon cryptographic algorithms
Most recent standard

Summary

Amendment Standard - Active - Draft.
This amendment specifies modifications to the IEEE Std 802.15.4 medium access con-trol (MAC) specification to add Ascon cryptographic algorithms.

This amendment adds the Ascon-128 and Ascon-128a cryptographic algorithms to the IEEE Std 802.15.4.
The standard provides for ultra low complexity, ultra low cost, ultra low power consumption, and low data rate wireless connectivity among inexpensive devices, especially targeting the communications requirements of what is now commonly referred to as the Internet of Things. In addition, some of the alternate PHYs provide precision ranging capability that is accurate to one meter. Multiple PHYs are defined to support a variety of frequency bands.
