An Efficient Implementation of Advanced Encryption Standard on the Coarse-grained Reconfigurable Architecture

Abstract

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is currently considered as one of the best symmetric-key block ciphers. The hardware implementation of the AES for hand-held mobile devices or wireless sensor network nodes is always required to meet the strict constraints in terms of performance, power and cost. Coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures are recently proposed as the solution that provides high flexibility, high performance and low power consumption for the next-generation embedded systems. This paper presents a ...
