Iterative and Fully Pipelined High Throughput Efficient Architectures of AES in FPGA and ASIC

摘要

This paper presents high throughput iterative and pipelined VLSI architectures of the Advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm based on composite field arithmetic in polynomial basis. A logical rearrangement has been performed in the byte substitution (S-box) module to reduce the number of gates in the critical path. Also, inversion in GF(2(4)) module has been separately optimized. ASIC implementation of our S-box has comparatively low power and low energy consumption. The iterative and pipelined implementations of AES in field programmable gate array (FPGA) and ASIC using proposed S-box have high hardware efficiency in terms of throughput per unit area (slices in FPGA).
