Editor's note:This article shows how design space exploration can be realized through high-level synthesis. It presents a case study of a hardware implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Rijndael algorithm. Starting from the algorithmic specification, the authors generate various architectures by using the C2R compiler.—Philippe Coussy, Université de Bretagne-Sud
