FPGA Implementation of Enhanced Throughput Design of AES Architecture using Nikhilam Sutra

Abstract

The exponential growth of the internet and contemporary communications users have established safety as a fundamental design feature for encrypted transmission. The Enhanced Cryptography Standard is perhaps the most widely used cryptography information security algorithm standard that has been authorized by NIST. This paper proposes a high-throughput design for the AES Algorithm with huge key sizes. AES would be a block cipher that ensures data security by using key lengths of 128,192 and 256-bits. The design concept focuses on a 256-bit key size classification algorithm since a big key size is required to ensure excellent security. Additionally, simultaneous key expansion & encryption/decryption processes would be pipelined to maximize speed. Parallelization of a key expansion module's sub-processes would be used to reduce the critical chain latency. The S-box comprising sub-byte & inverse sub-byte operations has been developed with compound field arithmetic operations to reduce time and area further. The work Increased throughput by 50%, area reduced by 34.32 %, and latency by 20% compared to the old approach with modified nikhilam sutra. Additionally, integrated AES encryption/decryption is planned and implemented on the FPGA Zed board utilizing Verilog HDL in Xilinx Vivado.
