Abstract

The design, implementation and system level performance of an efficient yet compact field programmable gate array (FPGA) based Secure Hash Algorithm 256 (SHA-256) processor is presented. On a Xilinx Virtex XCV300E-8 FPGA, the SHA-256 processor utilizes 1261 slices and has a throughput of 87 MB/s at 88 MHz. When measured on actual hardware operating at 66 MHz, it had a maximum measured system throughput of 53 MB/s.
