An Efficient FPGA Implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm

Abstract

A proposed FPGA-based implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm is presented in this paper. This implementation is compared with other works to show the efficiency. The design uses an iterative looping approach with block and key size of 128 bits, lookup table implementation of S-box. This gives low complexity architecture and easily achieves low latency as well as high throughput. Simulation results, performance results are presented and compared with previous reported designs.
