Evaluation of AES Cryptographic Algorithm on a General-Purpose Map-Scan Accelerator

As one of the most widely used encryption standards, AES must be implemented taking encryption speed into consideration. This paper presents the evaluation of the AES algorithm on a general-purpose Map-Scan Accelerator. AES proves well suited to a Map style of parallelism, with each computational cell processing one block of data. ECB and CTR modes are implemented and evaluated for key sizes of 128, 192, and 256.
