Cryptographic Algorithms on Reconfigurable Hardware

Download or read book Cryptographic Algorithms on Reconfigurable Hardware written by Francisco Rodriguez-Henriquez and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-04-03 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software-based cryptography can be used for security applications where data traffic is not too large and low encryption rate is tolerable. But hardware methods are more suitable where speed and real-time encryption are needed. Until now, there has been no book explaining how cryptographic algorithms can be implemented on reconfigurable hardware devices. This book covers computational methods, computer arithmetic algorithms, and design improvement techniques needed to implement efficient cryptographic algorithms in FPGA reconfigurable hardware platforms. The author emphasizes the practical aspects of reconfigurable hardware design, explaining the basic mathematics involved, and giving a comprehensive description of state-of-the-art implementation techniques.
