With the widespread use of battery operating systems, low power designs are highly needed to extend the battery lifetime. Encryption/ decryption circuits are one of the best candidates for low power implementation, as they are needed to maintain the privacy and security of user data. In this work, we present a low power FPGA-based implementation for AES Mix Columns (MC) /Inverse Mix Columns (IMC). The proposed design achieves low power by applying precomputation and resource sharing techniques to the MC and IMC transformation. We compared this implementation with previous work and we found that this implementation provides an average of 28% less power than previous implementations.
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.
