HIGH SPEED VLSI IMPLEMENTATION OF AES-RIJNDAEL ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM

The growing of the Internet at the last decade has
led to an increase in the importance of cryptography.
Internet applications such as electronic commerce
and electronic communication have made cryptography
an essential tool. Data Encryption Standard (DES)
Algorithm had been the standard symmetric key
algorithm for the government of the United States
since 1977. However, the enormous increase in
computational power has made the DES algorithm
obsolete. Therefore, the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) held a competition to
determine the new standard. Between 15 candidates,
the NIST selected the Rijndael Algorithm as the new
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Algorithm to
replace DES. In high-speed data communication
systems, fast data encryption and decryption is very
important. In this book, a very high speed VLSI
implementation of the Rijndael Algorithm is
presented. Both the encryption and the decryption
algorithms of Rijndael are implemented as a single
ASIC. This book will be very useful for anyone who
wants to implement the AES-Rijndael Algorithm as an
FPGA or ASIC. In this book, all the implementation
steps are explained in detail.
