Abstract We present MARVIN, a new parallelizable message authentication code (MAC) based on the ALRED family. The new algorithm is designed with resource‐constrained platforms inmind and explores the structure of an underlying block cipher toprovide security at a small cost in terms of memory needs. Also,we show how MARVIN can be used as an authentication‐onlyfunction or else in an authenticated encryption with associateddata (AEAD) scheme. We define a new AEAD proposal called LETTERSOUP, which is based on the mode ofoperation. Finally, we LFSRC analyze the security and performance of theresulting schemes.
