Hummingbird is a new ultra-lightweight crypto-graphic algorithm targeted for resource-constrained devices like RFID tags, smart cards, and wireless sensor nodes. In this paper, we design the algorithim using Dsp module, we describe efficient hardware implementations of a Hummingbird component in field-programmable gate array (FPGA) devices. We implement an encryption/decryption core on the low-cost Xilinx FPGA series Vertex-5 and compare our results with other reported lightweight block cipher implementations. Our experimental results highlight that in the context of low-cost FPGA implementation Hummingbird has favorable efficiency and low area requirements.
