The goal of this submission is to provide a framework and platform to compare stream ciphers not only on their security level but also based on their energy consumption, performance and area cost. We describe the basic hardware assumptions, give the area, delay and power consumption values of some existing stream ciphers and give guidelines for the designs of future algorithms. Keywords: E0, A5/1, RC4, hardware implementation, power consumption 1
