This paper conducts an extensive comparative study of state-of-the-art solutions for
implementing the SHA-3 hash function. SHA-3, a pivotal component in modern …

Lattice-based cryptography is a highly potential candidate that protects against the threat of
quantum attack. At Usenix Security 2016, Alkim, Ducas, Pöpplemann, and Schwabe …

We provide a comprehensive evaluation of several lightweight block ciphers with respect to
various hardware performance metrics, with a particular focus on the energy cost. This case …

This book is about the cryptographic hash function BLAKE, one of the five final contenders in
the SHA3 competition, out of 64 initial submissions. The SHA3 competition was a public …

The NIST competition for develo** the new cryptographic hash algorithm SHA-3 has
entered its third round. One evaluation criterion is the ability of the candidate algorithm to be …

In this paper we present a comprehensive comparison of all Round 3 SHA-3 candidates and
the current standard SHA-2 from the point of view of hardware performance in modern …

Secure cryptographic hash functions are core components in many applications like
challenge-response authentication systems or digital signature schemes. Many of these …

In this paper, three different approaches are considered for FPGA based implementations of
the SHA-3 hash functions. While the performance of proposed unfolded and pipelined …

In this paper a two-staged pipelined architecture of the new SHA-3 (Keccak) algorithm is
presented. The core can operate on both one-block and multi-block messages, realizing all …

Synchronized padder block and a compact-dynamic round constant (RC) generator to
achieve highly efficient Keccak architecture are proposed in this work. The proposed design …
