Abstract
A new 128-bit block cipher, TWIS is proposed. It uses key size of 128-bits. The design targets to software environment for resource constrained applications. It is inspired from existing block cipher, CLEFIA. Although the proposed design uses less resources as compared to CLEFIA, it compares favorably with CLEFIA in terms of security provided.
