Abstract
We describe designs for circuits that compute two modern software-optimized encryption algorithms, Blowfish and IDEA. For each algorithm we discuss the complexity of these algorithms in terms of Verilog RTL source code, standard cell and PLD gate-equivalents, and RAM and ROM consumption. We describe the critical paths and sequencing and review various architectural tradeoffs and design tricks we found noteworthy.
