Hash functions play an important role in modern cryptography.A new high-speed implementation of SHA which is based on FPGA is proposed,combining two popular hardware optimization techniques,namely partially unrollingand path optimization.The result can be easily adopted by embedded system,to provide a high degree of security.Compared to other competitive designs,the proposed implementation offers a higher encrypting speed(almost 1.7 times increase), while it keeps small-size and similar frequency.
