The growing of the Internet at the last decade hasled to an increase in the importance of cryptography. Internet applications such as electronic commerceand electronic communication have made cryptographyan essential tool. Data Encryption Standard (DES)Algorithm had been the standard symmetric keyalgorithm for the government of the United Statessince 1977. However, the enormous increase incomputational power has made the DES algorithmobsolete. Therefore, the National Institute ofStandards and Technology (NIST) held a competition todetermine the new standard. Between 15 candidates,the NIST selected the Rijndael Algorithm as the newAdvanced Encryption Standard (AES) Algorithm toreplace DES. In high-speed data communicationsystems, fast data encryption and decryption is veryimportant. In this book, a very high speed VLSIimplementation of the Rijndael Algorithm ispresented. Both the encryption and the decryptionalgorithms of Rijndael are implemented as a singleASIC. This book will be very useful for anyone whowants to implement the AES-Rijndael Algorithm as anFPGA or ASIC. In this book, all the implementationsteps are explained in detail.
