    Abstract: An integrated circuit features technology for generating a keystream. The integrated circuit comprises a cipher block with a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) and a finite state machine (FSM). The LFSR and the FSM are configured to generate a stream of keys, based on an initialization value and an initialization key. The FSM comprises an Sbox that is configured to use a multiplicative mask to mask data that is processed by the Sbox when the LFSR and the FSM are generating the stream of keys. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
