In 2013, a new stream cipher was proposed in [5]. Its design wasinspired and motivated by a Soviet encryption machine Fialka M-125. The au-thors proposed three versions of the cipher with dierent inner state bit-lengths.They provided the design, software implementation on a personal computer anda preliminary statistical and performance analysis of the cipher.In this article we extend their work by implementing all three versions ofthe cipher on two dierent micro-controllers: EBV SoCrates evaluation board [2]and STM32F407VG [3]. We evaluate the performance of all implementations onboth platforms. We also investigate the possibilities of performing a simple poweranalysis of the implementation of the 8-bit version of the cipher implemented onSTM32F407VG micro-controller. It stems from our experiments that we are ableto determine a part of the secret key of the cipher by observing the power trace(power consumption) of the encryption/decryption process.
