QCA Implementation of A5/1 Stream Cipher

Quantum cellular automata (QCA) represents an emerging technology at the nanotechnology level. Nowadays, many applications of QCA technology are introduced and cryptography can be an interesting application of QCA technology. The original encryption algorithm for GSM was A5/1. Here, we have implemented the A5/1 stream cipher using QCA technology. Simulation results are obtained from QCADesigner software.
