Recently, the importance of the area efficient implementation of cryptographic algorithm for the portable device is increasing. Previous ARIA(Academy, Research Institute, Agency) implementation styles that usually concentrate upon speed, we not suitable for mobile devices in area and power aspects. Thus in this paper, we present an area efficient AR processor which use 32-bit architecture. Using new implementation technique of diffusion layer, the proposed processor has 11301 gates chip area. For 128-bit master key, the ARIA processor needs 87 clock cycles to generate initial round keys, n8 clock cycles to encrypt, and 256 clock cycles to decrypt a 128-bit block of data. Also the processor supports 192-bit and 256-bit master keys. These performances are 7% in area and 13% in speed improved results from previous cases.
