Cryptography on Hardware Platforms (WS 2024/25)
Table of Content
Content
This course teaches how to implement cryptographic algorithms efficiently on hardware platforms. It covers hardware implementation aspects of symmetric-key and asymmetric-key cryptographic primitives, true and pseudo-random number generation, physically unclonable functions, as well as the basics of homomorphic encryption. In the practical assignments, you will be given reference proof-of-concept software implementations and you will build hardware-software codesign architectures for them.Material

See position in the curriculumObjective
Students will learn how to design cryptographic algorithms on hardware and hardware-software co-design platforms.Learning goals:
- FPGA-based design flow, prototyping in real FPGA, and performance benchmarking.
- Problem-oriented hardware development for cryptography.
- Standard and performance-optimized implementation techniques.
- Secure implementation techniques.
