Master's Thesis |
June 1997 - May 1998 |
| |
High Speed FPGA Architectures for the Data Encryption Standard. |
| |
Analysis of the Data
Encryption Standard (DES) and design various
architecture options with strong emphasis on high-speed performance.
Implementation of the architectures for Field Programmable Gate Arrays
