Bibliography

Below is a bibliography of papers addressing the cryptanalysis of Simon and Speck. The list is not comprehensive; we will add additional papers as we find them. Papers on non-cryptanalytic aspects of the algorithms are not included here. In particular, there are many papers on implementations, performance, and side-channel and fault analysis considerations that haven't been listed.
