Proposed Abstract:

The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is widely recognized as the inaugural and prevailing symmetric key method used for the cryptographic processes of encrypting and decrypting digital data. Despite its lack of security against determined attackers in contemporary times, the use of this method persists in older systems. This work introduces a novel implementation of the Data Encryption and Decryption Standard algorithm using Field Programming Gate Arrays (FPGAs) that prioritizes security, high throughput, and space efficiency. The suggested solution involves the creation of a system that utilizes a block size of 64 bits and a key length that is also 64 bits. Additionally, the system operates with a data width of 64 bits. This achievement is accomplished by integrating the notion of pipelining with time variable permutations, and then comparing it with previously shown encryption techniques. The permutations undergo temporal variations under the control of the cryptographer. Hence, the cipher text also undergoes alteration while the key and plaintext remain constant. The algorithm under consideration has been successfully executed on the Xilinx Vetex-5 Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform. The findings of this study indicate that the suggested implementation exhibits exceptional speed in comparison to other hardware implementations. Additionally, it demonstrates superior area efficiency and significantly enhanced security measures.
