4.2 Gbits/sec Single-chip Fpga Implementation of the Aes Algorithm

This letter presents a high performance encryptor/decryptor core of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The proposed architecture is implemented on a single-chip-FPGA using a fully pipelined approach. The results obtained show that our design offers up to 25.06% less area and yields up to 27.23% higher throughput than the fastest AES FPGA implementations reported to date.
