SoPC Implementation of Whirlpool Hash Function
Kamil Krawczyk, Paweł Tomaszewicz, Mariusz Rawski · 2011
This paper presents a System on Programmable Chip (SoPC) implementation of the Whirlpool Hash Function (WHF). Realization is performed with use of embedded soft-processor NIOS II with C application for testing the WHF algorithm. Due to highly intensive computations of this cryptographic function, the hardware accelerators supporting the software solutions are introduced. This paper presents the Whirlpool Hash Function realized in several SoPC configurations, which differ in implementation complexity and performance.
