Programmable Cellular Automata (PCA) Based Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Hardware Architecture

摘要

This paper reports an AES (Advances Encryption Standard) hardware architecture based on Programmable Cellular Automata (PCA) operated with a program. Verilog code has been designed for PCA and associated hardware modules to realize the AES functions. The PCA re-places the irregular logic circuit necessary for hardwired implementation of AES. The design has been simulated on Xilinx platform using ISE simulator.
