Domain specific high-level synthesis for cryptographic workloads (1st ed. 2019.)

This book offers an in-depth study of the designand challenges addressed by a high-level synthesis tool targeting a specificclass of cryptographic kernels, i.e. symmetric key cryptography. With the aidof detailed case studies, it also discusses optimization strategies that cannotbe automatically undertaken by CRYKET (Cryptographic kernels toolkit. Thedynamic nature of cryptography, where newer cryptographic functions and attacksfrequently surface, means that such a tool can help cryptographers expedite thevery large scale integration (VLSI) design cycle by rapidly exploring variousdesign alternatives before reaching an optimal design option. Features includeflexibility in cryptographic processors to support emerging cryptanalyticschemes; area-efficient multinational designs supporting various cryptographicfunctions; and design scalability on modern graphics processing units (GPUs).These case studies serve as a guide to cryptographers exploring the design ofefficient cryptographic implementations.
