PROPOSED PROJECT TOPIC:

The aim of the topic is to design/build a hardware version of the SDEx encryption method using the BLAKE3 hash function. 

The current research on the method was performed on its software implementation. As a result of research and comparison of the method to the AES algorithm with a 128-bit key and at least the same level of security, it turned out that the SDEx method with the BLAKE3 hash function is several times faster than AES. Based on literature research, designing its hardware version may provide even better and more interesting results, especially in terms of speed.
