Sony announced today that after final ISO/IEC approval, CLEFIA –the Sony developed block cipher algorithm was adopted as one of the ISO/IEC 29192 International Standards in lightweight cryptography. CLEFIA has the same interface as the US government’s Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). This block cipher has a block length of 128 bits, while key length can be selected from 128 bits, 192 bits or 256 bits. The most impressive feature of ‘CLEFIA’ is its realization of implementation efficiency while maintaining a high level of security.
