This paper defines the AES password algorithm used as a symmetric-key-based password algorithm, and proposes the design of parallel password algorithm to utilize the resources of multi-core processor as much as possible. The proposed parallel password algorithm was confirmed for parallel execution of password computation by allocating the password algorithm according to the number of cores, and about 30% of performance increase compared to AES password algorithm. The encryption/decryption performance of the password algorithm was confirmed through binary comparative analysis tool, which confirmed that the binary results were the same for AES password algorithm and proposed parallel password algorithm, and the decrypted binary were also the same. The parallel password algorithm for multi-core environment proposed in this paper can be applied to authentication/payment of financial service in PC, laptop, server, and mobile environment, and can be utilized in the area that required high-speed encryption operation of large-sized data.

This paper describes an efficient hardware implementation of Whirlpool hash function as ISO/IEC 10118-3 standard. Optimized timing is achieved by using pipelined small LUTs, and Whirlpool block cipher and key schedule have been implemented in parallel for improving throughput. In key schedule, key addition is area-optimized by using inverters and muxes instead of using rom and xor gates. This hardware has been implemented on Virtex5-XC5VSX50T FPGA device. Its maximum operating frequency is about 151MHz, and throughput is about 950Mbps.
