Abstract :
Stream ciphers like Snow 2.0 are very promising techniques for encryption in trusted hardware, but demand specialized IP cores to enhance conventional architectures. The paper describes the design of such a core that can be adapted to the system needs according to a ratio of throughput and effective slice usage of 3.2 to 3.5. The footprint is comparable with a commercial floating-point unit.
