Abstract

This work presents a resource efficient implementation of T-Box module of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) on Xilinx's Virtex-5 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The proposed architecture utilizes the 100% capacity of FPGA's dedicated Block RAM (BRAM) as compared to conventional techniques, where the consumption of BRAM memory is from 25% to 50%. The results show that the module fits into 4 BRAMs, thus reducing on device resources by 50%.
