eSTREAM is a project to "identify new stream cipher
s suitable for widespread adoption", organised by the EU
ECRYPT
network. It was set up as a result of the failure of all six stream ciphers submitted to the NESSIE
project. The call for primitives was first issued in November 2004. The project was completed in April 2008. The project was divided into separate phases and the project goal was to find algorithms suitable for different application profiles.
Both profiles contain an "A" subcategory (1A and 2A) with ciphers that also provide authentication in addition to encryption. In Phase 3 none of the ciphers providing authentication are being considered (The NLS cipher had authentication removed from it to improve its performance).
These are all free for any use. Rabbit was the only one that had a patent pending during the eStream competition, but it was released into the public domain in October 2008.
The original portfolio, published at the end of Phase 3, consisted of the above ciphers plus F-FCSR
which was in Profile 2. However, cryptanalysis of F-FCSR led to a revision of the portfolio in September 2008 which removed that cipher.

, as well as the other candidates), simplicity and flexibility, justification and supporting analysis, and clarity and completeness of the documentation. Submissions in Profile 1 were only accepted if they demonstrated software performance superior to AES-128 in counter mode.
Activities in Phase 1 included a large amount of analysis and presentations of analysis results as well as discussion. The project also developed a framework for testing the performance of the candidates. The framework was then used to benchmark the candidates on a wide variety of systems.
On 27 March 2006 the eSTREAM project officially announced the end of Phase 1.
Phase 3 ended April 15, 2008 with the announcement of the candidates that had been selected for the final eSTREAM portfolio.
The selected Profile 1 algorithms were: HC-128, Rabbit, Salsa20/12, and SOSEMANUK.
The selected Profile 2 algorithms were: F-FCSR-H v2, Grain v1, Mickey v2 and Trivium.

The submissions to eSTREAM fall into either or both of two profiles:- Profile 1: "Stream ciphers for software applications with high throughputThroughputIn communication networks, such as Ethernet or packet radio, throughput or network throughput is the average rate of successful message delivery over a communication channel. This data may be delivered over a physical or logical link, or pass through a certain network node...

Both profiles contain an "A" subcategory (1A and 2A) with ciphers that also provide authentication in addition to encryption. In Phase 3 none of the ciphers providing authentication are being considered (The NLS cipher had authentication removed from it to improve its performance).

On 27 March 2006 the eSTREAM project officially announced the end of Phase 1.
Phase 2
On 1 August 2006 Phase 2 was officially started. For each of the profiles, a number of algorithms has been selected to be Focus Phase 2 algorithms. These are designs that eSTREAM finds of particular interest and encourages more cryptanalysis and performance evaluation on these algorithms. Additionally a number of algorithms for each profile are accepted as Phase 2 algorithms, meaning that they are still valid as eSTREAM candidates. The Focus 2 candidates will be re-classified every six months.Phase 3
Phase 3 started in April 2007. Candidates for Profile 1 (Software) are CryptMT (Version 3), Dragon, HC (HC-128 and HC-256), LEX (LEX-128, LEX-192 and LEX-256), NLS (NLSv2, encryption only, not authentication), Rabbit, Salsa20/12 and SOSEMANUK. Candidates for Profile 2 (Hardware) are DECIM (DECIM v2 and DECIM-128), Edon80, F-FCSR (F-FCSR-H v2 and F-FCSR-16), Grain (Grain v1 and Grain-128), MICKEY (MICKEY 2.0 and MICKEY-128 2.0), Moustique, Pomaranch (Version 3) and Trivium.Phase 3 ended April 15, 2008 with the announcement of the candidates that had been selected for the final eSTREAM portfolio.
The selected Profile 1 algorithms were: HC-128, Rabbit, Salsa20/12, and SOSEMANUK.
The selected Profile 2 algorithms were: F-FCSR-H v2, Grain v1, Mickey v2 and Trivium.
