Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange with Divide and Conquer Multiplication

Abstract

This paper presents a hardware implementation of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange and RSA encryption algorithms, combined with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), on the Artix 7 100-T platform. The aim is to create secure communication channels using dedicated hardware acceleration, eliminating dependence on external software modules. By leveraging the FPGA's parallel processing capabilities, the design enables efficient computation of key exchange and encryption, significantly enhancing system security and performance. This solution ensures robust cryptographic operations through meticulous hardware optimization and integration, making it highly suitable for real-time applications in secure communication systems. Integrating Diffie-Hellman, RSA, and AES on the Artix 7 100-T platform showcases the potential for high-speed, hardware-accelerated cryptographic processes, providing a reliable and efficient approach to securing data transmissions. The proposed implementation not only improves computational efficiency but also strengthens the overall security posture of communication systems, demonstrating its viability for deployment in various environments requiring secure and rapid data exchanges.
