Bachelor of Engineering - Electrical and Electronics Engineering PROJECTS
Low-Clock Latency SDRR-Based AES
• Developed an optimized implementation of AES-128 encryption using double-rate registers to enhance security.
• Analyzed the security and performance of the AES cryptography algorithm and improved it by 25%.
• Implemented the design on a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA development board.
• Used Chipwhisperer-pro to perform Side-Channel Attack for security monitoring.
• Xilinx Vivado is used for FPGA prototyping.
• Jupyter Notebook with Python scripts is used for Side-Channel Attack.
• Submitted to the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) for peer review, highlighting the project’s significance in the field of cryptography and secure FPGA design ( https://2025.ieee-iscas.org/ ). Frequency Efficient Design for a Digit-Serial Polynomial Basis Finite Field Multiplier Using Factoring Technique
• Designed and implemented different bits of adders such as 4-8-16-32 bit by using Verilog.
• Utilized the Synopsis Design Compiler and compared them with each other with regard to the area, delay, and power, resulting in the smaller design implemented, the more efficient results obtained.
• Utilized Cadence Innovus tool for floor planning, place, and route.
