Hardware Side of Cryptography

In December 2010, on behalf of the undergraduate course of VLSI design (below the teaching of Professor G. Alexiou), i make a presentation about cryptography & hardware. It is a short and basic presentation of the aspects of cryptography that a modern hardware designer should consider when developing a cryptographic module.

 

The presentation includes:

  • Introduction: Shifting to embedded devices – need for security
  • State of the art in cryptography field
  • Software vs. Hardware Solutions
  • Reconfigurable Hardware Solutions
  • Conclusions
