Course Content
The course covers the design and optimization of cryptographic processors for both classical algorithms like AES and ECC. as well as post-quantum standards such as Kyber. Dilithium. and Falcon. It emphasizes hardware architecture principles. analyzing tradeoffs between speed. power. and area (SPA). and focuses on implementing side-channel and fault-attack resistant designs. Students learn to optimize cryptographic cores for FPGA and ASIC platforms. addressing real-world constraints including throughput and energy efficiency. and gain handson experience benchmarking and evaluating processor performance.
