[myhdl-list] Project proposal for GSoC

[Oscar D. D. <osc...@gm...>]

Hello, 

Following the proposal done by Keerthan, I also proposed a new project for 
GSoC: 

 
### Crypto core

This project is the design and test of a cryptographic core. This core should 
be designed to be modular, to implement various cryptographic algorithms and 
operation modes, support symmetric and asymmetric encryption, and it should be 
easy to extend. Recommended algorithms to implement are AES, 3DES and RSA, and 
operation modes to implement are ECB, CBC, CFB, OFB and CTR. 

Additional aspects to cover with this project are:
   * Performance comparison against software implementation.
   * A modular test mechanism.
   * Study on possible implementation vulnerabilities.

A reference implementation for this project is openSSL library, although there 
are some hardware implementations in VHDL and Verilog.

###

I already did a pull request to GSoC page, so it should be published soon. If 
anyone is interested in this project, don't hesitate to tell me about it. 

Best regards, Oscar.

I recommend using OpenDocument Format
for daily use and exchange of documents.
