System level design of scalable encryption algorithm by using CoWare

Abstract

Embedded designers are forced to find new design solutions for fast growing embedded systems due to technological improvements. Despite Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology makes the lives of users easier, it also brings privacy and security problems. Therefore RFID designers use cryptographic algorithms to solve security and privacy problems. The aim of this study is to implement SEA algorithm designed for RFID systems by one of the system-level design languages called SystemC.
