Ultra Low-Power and Low-Energy 32-bit Datapath AES Architecture for IoT Applications

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel AES microarchitecture with 32-bit datapath optimized for low-power and low-energy consumption targeting IoT applications. The proposed design uses simple shift registers for key/data storage and permutation to minimize the area, and the power/energy consumption. These shift registers also minimize the control logics in the key expansion and the encryption path. The proposed architecture is further optimized for area and/or power/energy consumption by selecting a suitable implementation of S-boxes ...
