Design and Analysis of a Cuckoo-Based Lightweight Stream Cipher for Battery-Constrained Internet of Things (IoT) Devices
This paper proposes a Cuckoo-Based Stream Cipher (CBSC-128), in which the cuckoo-inspired mechanism is used as an optimization-driven strategy to enhance internal state evolution and key scheduling dynamics. Inspired by adaptive cuckoo nesting behavior, the proposed design introduces stochastic state mutation, nonlinea...
