Abstract

The CryptoBooster is a modular and reconfigurable cryptographic coprocessor that takes full advantage of current high-performance reconfigurable circuits (FPGAs) and their partial reconfigurability. The CryptoBooster works as a coprocessor with a host system in order to accelerate cryptographic operations. A series of cryptographic modules for different encryption algorithms are planned. The first module we implemented is IDEACore, an encryption core for the International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA驴).
