The Lightweight Encryption Algorithm (also known as LEA ) is a 128-bit block cipher developed by South Korea in 2013 to provide confidentiality in high-speed environments such as big data and cloud computing , as well as lightweight environments such as IoT devices and mobile devices .[ 1] LEA has three different key lengths: 128, 192, and 256 bits. LEA encrypts data about 1.5 to 2 times faster than AES , the most widely used block cipher in various software environments.
LEA LEA encryption round function
Designers Deukjo Hong, Jung-Keun Lee, Dong-Chan Kim, Daesung Kwon, Kwon Ho Ryu, Dong-Geon Lee First published 2013 Key sizes 128, 192, or 256 bits Block sizes 128 bits Structure ARX (modular Addition, bitwise Rotation, and bitwise XOR) Rounds 24, 28, or 32 (depending on key size) As of 2019, no successful attack on full-round LEA is known.
LEA is one of the cryptographic algorithms approved by the Korean Cryptographic Module Validation Program (KCMVP) and is the national standard of Republic of Korea (KS X 3246). LEA is included in the ISO/IEC 29192-2:2019 standard (Information security - Lightweight cryptography - Part 2: Block ciphers).
The block cipher LEA consisting of ARX operations (modular Addition:
⊞
{\displaystyle \boxplus }
, bitwise Rotation:
⋘
{\displaystyle \lll }
,
⋙
{\displaystyle \ggg }
, and bitwise XOR
⊕
{\displaystyle \oplus }
) for 32-bit words processes data blocks of 128 bits and has three different key lengths: 128, 192, and 256 bits.
LEA with a 128-bit key, LEA with a 192-bit key, and LEA with a 256-bit key are referred to as “LEA-128”, “LEA-192”, and “LEA-256”, respectively.
The number of rounds is 24 for LEA-128, 28 for LEA-192, and 32 for LEA-256.

As of 2019, no successful attack on full-round LEA is known.
As is typical for iterated block ciphers, reduced-round variants have been attacked.
The best published attacks on LEA in the standard attack model (CPA/CCA with unknown key) are boomerang attacks and differential linear attacks.
The security margin to the whole rounds ratio is greater than 37% against various existing cryptanalytic techniques for block ciphers.

LEA has very good performance in a general-purpose software environment.
In particular, it is possible to encrypt at a rate of about 1.5 to 2 times on average, compared to AES, the most widely used block cipher in various software environments.
The tables below compare the performance of LEA and AES using FELICS (Fair Evaluation of Lightweight Cryptographic Systems),[ 3] a benchmarking framework for evaluation of software implementations of lightweight cryptographic primitives.

LEA is free for any use: public or private, commercial or non-commercial.
The source code for distribution of LEA implemented in C , Java , and Python can be downloaded from KISA's website.[ 6]
In addition, LEA is contained in Crypto++ library, a free C++ class library of cryptographic schemes.[ 7]
LEA is one of the cryptographic algorithms approved by the Korean Cryptographic Module Validation Program (KCMVP).[ 8]
LEA is included in the following standards.
