Abstract :
This paper discusses the use of features of modern FPGA designs to enable the implementation of highly secure micro crypto-functions. The paper shows a scenario to integrate a dynamic/evolving cipher function in a reconfigurable FPGA architecture. The proposed system offers a practical methodology for building such functions efficiently in modern reconfigurable FPGAs. The resulting cipher, which is secret but still operational and self-evolving, appears to be quite promising for many modern security applications requiring high security, stability and robustness.
