Abstract

We present optimized FPGA implementations of three tweak-able enciphering schemes, namely, HCH, HCTR and EME using AES-128 as the underlying block cipher.We report performance timings and hardware resources occupied by these three modes when using a fully pipelined AES core and a sequential AES design. Our experimental results suggest that in terms of area HCTR, HCH and HCHfp (a variant of HCH) require more area than EME. However, HCTR performs the best in terms of speed followed by HCHfp, EME and HCH.
