Abstract

New generations of FPGA devices that are being continuously developed provide the designers with extended capabilities and create new options for implementation of contemporary ciphers. This work presents implementations of the two best algorithms of the AES contest – Rijndael and Serpent – in Spartan-6 devices from Xilinx and compares them with equivalent effects that were obtained in architectures of the previous generation. The included results allow for evaluation of implementation cost vs. efficiency in contemporary FPGA chips for these two cryptographic algorithms and also provide some conclusions about how the situation changes with development of new, more powerful programmable architectures.
