NanoCMOS-Molecular Realization of Rijndael

Abstract

Abstract. This paper describes the implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm, Rijndael, in a new nanoscale technology, called CMOL. This technology consists of an array of conventional CMOS gates and a wiring network, which consists of a high density mesh of nanowires. The basic Modules of Rijndael were implemented using CMOL architecture. It is observed that the implementation in such a technology has considerable advantages compared to a conventional CMOS approach as regards to defect tolerance, speed, area and power consumption.
