Reconfigurable FPGA Architecture for Cryptographic Hashing Algorithms

Abstract

Nowadays, security is the most significant thing in the communication field. Most of the data transmitted over the communication channel are highly confidential so it needs more security. But this confidential data are easily stolen by hackers and it affects the users’ privacy. Nowadays, so many encryption algorithms have been established to protect the original information of the users. But, Hash Function (HF) security is the most important primitive which used for data authentication and data integrity. The reconfigurable cryptography integrated with chip which used for cryptography. Hashing algorithm is used to generate the random number which also used as a key value for cryptography. In this paper, different kind of Secured Hash Algorithms (SHA) such as SHA-0, SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3 in that the SHA-2 has different family (SHA-2F) such as SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 is studied.
