Abstract

In this work, we present our experience in implementing two different cryptographic algorithms in an FPGA: IDEA and AES. Both implementations have been done by means of mixing Handel-C and VHDL and using partial and dynamic reconfiguration in order to reach a very high performance. In both cases, we have obtained very satisfactory results, achieving 27.948Gb/s in the IDEA algorithm and 24.922Gb/s in the AES algorithm.
