With the popularity of IoT applications, it has a great significance to design efficient and lightweight block ciphers to ensure the information security for the resource-constrained devices. This study designs a high-efficiency lightweight block cipher named HBcipher. Its block length is 64 bits and it supports key lengths of 64 bits and 128 bits. The round function of HBcipher adopts three sets of F-functions of SPN structure, and constructs a new P2 permutation by using geometric mapping properties when designing the F-function, which effectively hides the statistical characteristics of plaintext and improves the ability of anti-statistical analysis. In order to avoid completely exposing the last round to the attacker, a whitening key module is added after the last round of P2 permutation output. Meanwhile, a dynamic AddRoundKey operation is designed. The encrypted data dynamically selects the updated subkey according to the parity of the algorithm's control signal. Compared with the general static AddRoundKey, the algorithm improves the flexibility, security, and especially the ability of resisting the self-similar attack. The experimental results show that the HBcipher algorithm has nice avalanche effect and randomization characteristics, and its software implementation performance is superior to the PRESENT which is optimized for hardware implementation. Compared with the RECTANGLE which is optimized for software implementation, the hardware implementation area of HBcipher is smaller. Security analyses shows that the HBcipher algorithm has the ability to resist the currently known attacks such as differential and linear.
