Deepthi Barbara Nickolas, Abilash Sivasankar · 2013
Security makes the people to stay in the sense of vital modern technological improvements, especially focused in Cryptography process. We have to consider the high level of security, the speed of encryption and the level of hardware which decides the cost in trade basis. The work in this paper concentrates on KECCAK SHA-3 algorithm and the sponge construction encryption process with iterative permutation. Thus it leads to reduced amount of encryption time and more importantly provides the ultimate security level among the previous techniques followed so far. The algorithm uses the hashing function which is used for secured message authentication of data, digital signatures and password protection. The main advantage of this algorithm is it exhibits high level of parallelism. The hardware implementation process on FPGA is very fast and effective.
