Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a cryptographic card embedded smart card reader. The cryptographic card introduces a digital integrated encryption/decryption circuitry called LAM which is based on Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Architecture for the use on a Personal Computer (PC) communication card. The implementation of the above hardware PC cryptography card has been designed using a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chip in combination with the digital part of the PCI Bus. The main objective of this paper is to provide the reader with a deep insight of the design of a digital cryptographic circuit, which was designed for a FPGA chip with the use of Very (High-Speed Integrated Circuit) Hardware Description Language (VHDL) for a PCI card. A demonstration of the digital integrated encryption/decryption circuitry will be presented.
