Cipher design is a multi-faceted process. Many designers focus on security, or present novel designs, but neglect to consider the impact on their ciphers' efficiency. This paper presents simple guidelines for ensuring efficient symmetric cipher implementations on the Intel Pentium 4 and associated architectures. The paper examines the suitability of a handful of ECRYPT eSTREAM ciphers for the platform, including Dragon, HC-256, MAG, Mir-1, Phelix, and Py.
