Cryptographic system implementations

Summary form only given. Advancing telecommunications, data storage, military, health, and other “information-sensitive” technologies have accented cryptography as an important design and security factor. This talk addresses the application framework and VLSI design implementation challenges of modern cryptographic applications and illustrates various cryptography implementation solutions. Of particular interest for this discussion are hardware designs for cryptography as well as the impact of recent algorithmic and mathematical advances in computer arithmetic and alternative number system representations that are useful for cryptography. The lecture also attempts to offer directions towards a more qualitative work model for future cryptography hardware system researchers and designers, by showcasing the scientific value offered by mathematical and algorithmic improvements rather than isolated hardware optimization techniques or exploitation of inherent capabilities of state-of-the-art FPGA devices.
