Evaluation of Symmetric Block Encryption schemes, characterized by parameters such as block size, key size, and number of rounds.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Symmetric Block Encryption |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Lightweight Block Ciphers |
| Metric | Block Size (bits) |
| Unit | SIZE |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 6 of 6 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Block Size (bits)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/symmetric-block-encryption-on-lightweight-block-ciphers.md?metric=Block%20Size%20(bits)>): Higher is better; unit: SIZE.

- [Key Size (bits)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/symmetric-block-encryption-on-lightweight-block-ciphers.md?metric=Key%20Size%20(bits)>): Higher is better; unit: SIZE.

- [Rounds](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/symmetric-block-encryption-on-lightweight-block-ciphers.md?metric=Rounds>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
