WPI Cryptography Seminar
How Well Are High-End DSPs Suited for the AES Algorithms?
Thomas Wollinger
WPI
Wednesday, March 22
4:30 pm, AK 218
(refreshments at 4:15 pm)
This presentation describes joint work with Jorge Guajardo, Min Wang and
Christof Paar.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced
that one of the design criteria for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
algorithm is the efficient implementation in hardware and software.
Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) are a highly attractive option for
software implementations of the AES finalists since they perform certain
arithmetic operations at high speeds, they are often smaller and more
energy-efficient than general purpose processors, and they are commonly
used for the rapidly growing market of embedded applications.
In this contribution we investigate how well modern high-end DSPs are
suited for the five final candidates chosen after the second AES
conference. As a result of our work we will compare the optimized
implementations of the algorithms on a C62x series DSP by TI. One of our
findings is that the encryption rate for all five algorithms on the DSP is
higher than on an Intel processor running at the same clock rate. We also
show preliminary results for some AES algorithms running on the brand new
C64x series DSP.
The talk is an extended version of the presentation we'll give at
the AES 3 conference.
