Cryptographic algorithms-on-a-chip: Architectures, designs & implementation platforms

Abstract

This work is related to to System-On-A-Chip architectures and designs methodologies, for cryptographic algorithms implementations. Alternatives approaches are presented, for architecture and design methodologies for block ciphers, stream ciphers, and hash functions. The presented algorithms are the most wide used in all certain of modern applications. Implementations aspects are given for both ASIC and FPGA integration platforms. Synthesis results are illustrated in hardware terms. Attacks on such integrations are also investigated. Comparisons for operating frequency, throughput and allocated resources are given in detail.
