Abstract:
Nowadays, digital communication protocols
rely on cryptographic mechanisms to protect sensitive information from
unauthorized access and modification. Cryptographic primitives, such as hash
functions, block and stream ciphers, are key components of many information
security applications, employed to provide privacy, authentication, and data
integrity. Following the massive differentiation of modern communication
technologies, cryptography must be able to provide highly-efficient algorithms
that combine strong security with optimal implementability.
This
work focuses on the design of VLSI circuits for cryptographic hash functions
and block cipher authenticated encryption modes. Two hash algorithms, submitted
to the NIST hash competition, and a new hash function family for
resource-limited applications, such as embedded systems and portable devices,
are presented. In addition, implementation results for efficient highspeed
architectures of the Advanced Encryption Standard in the Galois/Counter Mode of
operation are described.

Luca Henzen
received the MSc degree in electrical engineering from the ETH Zurich,
Switzerland in 2007. In the same year, he joined the Integrated Systems
Laboratory at the ETH Zurich as research and teaching assistant, working on the
development and implementation of VLSI high-speed and low-power circuits for
cryptographic authentication.
