Simon is a family of lightweight block ciphers publicly released by the National Security Agency (NSA) in June 2013.[5][1] Simon has been optimized for performance in hardware implementations, while its sister algorithm, Speck, has been optimized for software implementations.[6][7]
The NSA began working on the Simon and Speck ciphers in 2011. The agency anticipated some agencies in the US federal government would need a cipher that would operate well on a diverse collection of Internet of Things devices while maintaining an acceptable level of security.[8]
