A Prototype for Tiger Hash Primitive Hardware Architecture

Abstract

With the increasing prominence of the Internet as a tool of commerce, security has become a tremendously important issue. One essential aspect for secure communication over networks is that of cryptography. The increasing prominence of mobile devices has increased the necessity for hardware implementations of cryptography algorithms. Tiger hash function is the new hash function proposed which is very fast and secure. To the best of our knowledge there are no known architecture design proposal except an FPGA design implementation for Tiger Hash In this paper, we describe a prototype for Tiger Hash Primitive Hardware Architecture, which increases the security and speed factors when implemented.
