Abstract

This paper presents a detailed architecture and a reconfigurable logic based hardware design of the SCAN algorithm. This architecture can be used to encrypt high resolution images in real-time. Although the SCAN algorithm is a block cipher algorithm with arbitrarily large blocks, the present design is for 64 × 64 pixel blocks in order to provide real-time image encryption throughput. The architecture was initially targeted at the Xilinx XCV-1000 FPGA, for which design and performance results are presented in the paper.
