Welcome to SNOW homepage. Here you can find information on the
SNOW stream cipher, our proposal for NESSIE.
We have presented a new version of the SNOW stream cipher (SNOW 2.0), at SAC 2002.
SNOW 2.0 is not a candidate for NESSIE.
You can download the paper on SNOW 2.0 here (ps,pdf).
We have updated the program package with a fast implementation of SNOW 2.0.
In the following archives you can find both the reference implementation and a fast implementation
together with programs to generate testvectors and measure the setup/keystream generation speed.
Download (tar.gz,winzip) and check the README file.
Information on the original version of SNOW (now called SNOW 1.0) can be found here:
Paper (ps,pdf) describing SNOW 1.0 with IV mode.
The same program package as above for SNOW 1.0 can be downloaded here (tar.gz,winzip).
