We describe an algorithm to verify a hardware design given in Verilog using an ANSI-C program as a specification. We use SAT based Bounded Model Checking [1] in order to reduce the equivalence problem to a bit vector logic decision problem. As a case study, we describe experimental results on a hardware and a software implementation of the data encryption standard (DES) algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
