In the field of communication security,the main applications of the hash function are data integrity verification and signature authentication.By making an overall analysis,an efficient hardware architecture is proposed to speed up the SHA-1 algorithm.The design shortens the clock cycles and enhances the throughput by adjusting the iterative method.And this SHA-1 engine performances better than other SHA-1 engines in area,frequency and throughput.
