Abstract

IDEA (International Data Encryption Algorithm) is one of the strongest secret-key block ciphers. The algorithm processes data in 16-bit subblocks and can be fully pipelined. The implementation of a fully pipelined IDEA algorithm achieves a clock rate of 105.9 MHz on Xilinx' XCV1000E-6BG560 FPGA of the Virtex-E device family. The implementation uses 18105 logic cells and achieves a throughput of 6.78 Gbps with a latency of 132clo ck cycles.
