FUTURE 
DEVELOPMENT 
• For future development, estimation on the real time 
required for key initialization and time for a whole 
encryption should be done on the real chip. 
• Research is still going on the encryptor core for higher 
bit lengths. 
• FPGA based solutions have shown significant speedups 
compared with software based approaches 
• The widespread adoption of distributed, wireless, and 
mobile computing makes the inclusion of privacy, 
authentication and security 
• Power consumption will remain a critical factor 
,especially when cryptographic applications will move into 
embedded context
CONCLUSION 
• In this paper, a VLSI implementation for the Rijndael encryption 
algorithm is presented 
• The combination of security, and high speed implementation, 
makes it a very good choice for wireless systems. 
• The whole design was captured entirely in VHDL language 
using a bottom-up design and verification methodology 
• The proposed VLSI implementation of the algorithm reduces the 
covered area and achieves a data throughput up to 2.18Gbit/sec. 
• An optimized coding for the implementation of Rijndael 
algorithm for 128 bits has been developed 
• Architectural innovations like on the fly round key generation, 
which facilitates simultaneous execution of sub bytes, shift rows 
and mix columns and round key generation has been 
incorporated in our coding.
FUTURE WORK 
• We have presented a high performance parity based low complexity fault 
detection scheme for the AES using the S-box and the inverse S-box in 
composite fields. 
• In our implementations, we used parity method in case of s box and 
ensured that error detection at s box takes two times which improves the 
fault coverage to a great extent. According to our simulation results, with 
acceptable error coverage, the structure-independent schemes proposed 
in this paper have the highest efficiencies, showing reasonable area and 
time complexity overheads. Based on the AES structure chosen, the 
performance goals to achieve, and the resources available, one can use 
combinations of the presented schemes in order to have much more 
reliable AES encryption and decryption structure.
