DEAL-128bit Encryption and Decryption (Senior Project) Using Xilinx Foundation software, ModelSim and VHDL, my partner and I designed and modeled DEAL-128 bit encryption/decryption, synthesized on a Xilinx Virtex FPGA board. DEAL is an encryption standard that uses DES encryption iteratively. Our design is a pipeline architecture and uses a finite state machine, structural and behavioral designs. We also designed testbenches and performed timing simulations to confirm the functionality of our design. |
