High-speed Design of 8-bit Architecture of AES Encryption

초록

This paper presents new 8-bit implementation of AES. Most typical 8-bit AES designs are to reduce the circuit area by sacrificing its throughput. The presented AES architecture employs two separated S-box to perform round operation and key generation in parallel. From the simulation results of the proposed AES-128, the maximum critical path delay is 13.0ns. It can be operated in 77MHz and the throughput is 15.2 Mbps. Consequently, the throughput of the proposed AES has 1.54 times higher throughput than the other counterpart although the area increasement is limited in 1.17 times. The proposed AES design enables very low-area design without sacrificing its performance. Thereby, it can be suitable for the various IoT applications that need high speed communication.
