Projects:2020s1-1210 Performance Evaluation of Cryptographic Functions
Contents
Introduction
With the advent of an increasingly online and interconnected world, the need for fast and efficient data encryption has never been higher. In pursuit of this, the Australian Semiconductor Technology Company (ASTC) has sponsored this project to examine three kinds of implementations of cryptographic operations in a RISC-V based embedded system. The objective is to compare and evaluate the performance of software based, hardware based, and hybrid implementations of AES utilizing a dedicated co-processor supplied by ASTC.
