Implementação em hardware de encriptação e decriptação com utilização do Advanced Encryption Standart (AES).

Abstract

Encryption applied to security of electronic information transactions has become more relevant in past years. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is used for data protection, from government data to WiFi networks, for example. The size of its key makes it more robust against hackers. This work presents a study about AES and its implementation in hardware. Initially, a theoretical study was done on the subject, followed by the proposed architecture and finally, results of simulations and tests performed in a FPGA for validation of the algorithm.
