Abstract :
In this paper we present a sensor node processor designed to support complex data encryption/decryption operations. The system is developed around an asynchronous processor core supported by AES, ECC and SHA-1 crypto accelerators. The paper describes the chip architecture and its components and gives the chip implementation details. Finally, the power and performance of the chip have been discussed and analyzed.
