High Level Energy Consumption Estimation of Cryptographic Algorithms; The Case of AES
Mazen Khaddour, Omar Hammami · 2008
In this paper we study the energy consumption of the AES block cipher on the highest possible level. As a case study of cryptographic algorithms and to explore energy consumption we used an ASIC implementation energy estimation tool to estimate energy consumption of hardware implementation of a high level implementation of the algorithm and here we present a detailed look to components contribution to energy consumption and we explore the impact of implementation factors on energy consumption.
