Information technology — Automatic identification and data capture techniques — Part 21: Crypto suite SIMON security services for air interface communications

Technologies de l'information — Techniques automatiques d'identification et de capture de données — Partie 21: Services de sécurité par suite cryptographique SIMON pour communications par interface radio

Abstract / scope

This document specifies the crypto suite for SIMON for the ISO/IEC 18000 air interface standards for radio frequency identification (RFID) devices.

SIMON is a symmetric block cipher that is parameterized in both its block length and key length. The block/key length options supported in this crypto suite (in bits) are 64/96, 96/96, 64/128, 128/128 and 128/256.

In this document, a Tag and an Interrogator can support one, a subset or all of the specified options, clearly stating what is supported.
