A one-of-a-kind survey of the field of Reconfigurable Computing Gives a comprehensive
introduction to a discipline that offers a 10X-100X acceleration of algorithms over …

Scan chains are exploited to develop attacks on cryptographic hardware and steal
intellectual properties from the chip. This paper proposes a secured strategy to test designs …

RC4 is the most popular stream cipher in the domain of cryptology. In this paper, we present
a systematic study of the hardware implementation of RC4, and propose the fastest known …

The goal of this submission is to provide a framework and platform to compare stream
ciphers not only on their security level but also based on their energy consumption …

RC4 is the most widely used stream cipher around. A lot of modifications of RC4 cipher can
be seen in open literature. Most of them enhance the secrecy of the cipher and the security …
