Abstract
This paper presents a low-complexity hardware design and implementation of the Skipjack algorithm using the Two Instruction Set Computer (TISC) on a Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA. The proposed low-complexity design makes use of the TISC processor architecture with only Adder and XOR hardware ALU blocks to perform the complete Skipjack encryption onto plaintext data. The hardware architecture was verified using the Handel-C hardware description language uses only a single memory block RAM and only 129 instructions for a complete 32 rounds of encryption. The TISC Skipjack processor occupies only 1% of the Spartan-3 available chip area, which are 116 occupied slices in total, making it a suitable choice for implementation in sensor networks for embedded security where hardware resources are scarce. ©2011 IEEE.

Other | This is the 25th Edition of the International Conference on Information Networking (ICOIN), which was started under the name of Joint Workshop on Computer Communication in 1986. ICOIN 2011 will take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The conference is organized by Korea Institute of Information Scientists and Engineers (KIISE), Korea. The ICOIN 2011 conference looks for significant contributions to the computer communications, wireless networks and converged networks in the theoretical and practical aspects. |
