Pipelining Concept for Low Power DES Implementation

Abstract

An implementation of Data Encryption Standard (DES), one of the most widely accepted cryptographic standards, using the pipelining concept is described in the paper. Pipelining is an approach used to reduce power consumption in systems. The simulation of the design employs the Xilinx software and results show that the number of slices used in the device has reduced compared to previous available works. This reduction in the slices ensures lower use of power by the system. The throughput of the system has also increased due to pipelining.
