Simulation & Synthesis of a Cryptography Processor for Portable Electronic Devices

Cryptography circuits for portable electronic devices provide user authentication and secure data communication. These circuits should, in general, occupy small chip area, consume low power, handle several cryptography algorithms, and provide acceptable performance. This paper presents the simulation and synthesis of three standard cryptography algorithms on a universal architecture. The cryptography processor implements both private key and public key algorithms and meets the power and performance specifications. The mentor graphics modelsim tool is used for design and simulation and also Synopsys Design Compiler tool is used for synthesis. TSMC 65nm library is used for the synthesis.
