Abstract

This paper presents a SoPC (System-on-a-Programmable-Chip) embedded system featuring selfreconfigurable capability. It addresses the factors that limitthe system performance when FPGAs are used to implementvarious encryption algorithms dynamically. The limitingfactors are the data transfer rate between the host andthe FPGA, and the reconfiguration latency. The results generatedby the cryptographic engine reported in this papershow that in order to attain optimal performance, it is crucialto floor-plan the reconfigurable part of the FPGA.
