This paper describes real-time detection and tracking of moving objects for unmanned visual surveillance. Using images obtained from the fixed camera it detects moving objects within the image and tracks them with displaying rectangle boxes enclosing the objects. Tracking method is implemented on an embedded system which consists of TI DSK645.5 kit and the FPGA board connected on the DSP kit. The DSP kit processes image processing algorithms for detection and tracking of moving objects. The FPGA board designed for image acquisition and display reads the image line-by-line and sends the image data to DSP processor, and also sends the processed data to VGA monitor by DMA data transfer. Experimental results show that the tracking of moving objects is working satisfactorily. The tracking speed is 30 frames/sec with 320x240 image resolution.

Conventional ARIA algorithm which is used LUT based-S-Box is fast the processing speed. However, the algorithm is hard to applied to small portable devices. This paper proposes the hardware design of optimized ARIA crypto-processor based on the modified composite field S-Box in order to decrease its hardware area. The Key scheduling in ARIA algorithm, both diffusion and substitution layers are repeatedly used in each round function. In this approach, an advanced key scheduling method is also presented of which two functions are merged into only one function for reducing hardware overhead in scheduling process. The designed ARIA crypto-processor is described in Verilog-HDL, and then a logic synthesis is also performed by using Xilinx ISE 14.7 tool with target the Xilnx FPGA XC3S1500 device. In order to verify the function of the crypto-processor, both logic and timing simulation are also performed by using simulator called ModelSim 10.4a.

In this paper, we propose an efficient symbol detection algorithm for space-frequency OFDM (SF-OFDM) transmit diversity scheme and present the implementation results of the SF-OFDM WLAN baseband processor with the proposed algorithm. When the number of sub-carriers in SF-OFDM scheme is small, the interference between adjacent sub-carriers may be generated. The proposed algorithm eliminates this interference in a parallel manner and obtains a considerable performance improvement over the conventional detection algorithm. The bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed detection algorithm is evaluated by the simulation. In the case of 2 transmit and 2 receive antennas, at $BER=10^{-4}$ the proposed algorithm obtains about 3 dB gain over the conventional detection algorithm. The packet error rate (PER), link throughput, and coverage performance of the SF-OFDM WLAN with the proposed detection algorithm are also estimated. For the target throughput at $80\%$ of the peak data rate, the SF-OFDM WLAN achieves the average SNR gain of about 5.95 dB and the average coverage gain of 3.98 meter. The SF-OFDM WLAN baseband processor with the proposed algorithm was designed in a hardware description language and synthesized to gate-level circuits using 0.18um 1.8V CMOS standard cell library. With the division-free architecture, the total logic gate count for the processor is 945K. The real-time operation is verified and evaluated using a FPGA test system.

This paper describes a design of cryptographic processor supporting 224-bit elliptic curves over prime field defined by NIST. Scalar point multiplication that is a core arithmetic function in elliptic curve cryptography(ECC) was implemented by adopting the modified Montgomery ladder algorithm. In order to eliminate division operations that have high computational complexity, projective coordinate was used to implement point addition and point doubling operations, which uses addition, subtraction, multiplication and squaring operations over GF(p). The final result of the scalar point multiplication is converted to affine coordinate and the inverse operation is implemented using Fermat's little theorem. The ECC processor was verified by FPGA implementation using Virtex5 device. The ECC processor synthesized using a 0.18 um CMOS cell library occupies 2.7-Kbit RAM and 27,739 gate equivalents (GEs), and the estimated maximum clock frequency is 71 MHz. One scalar point multiplication takes 1,326,985 clock cycles resulting in the computation time of 18.7 msec at the maximum clock frequency.

This paper proposes a SOC platform which is eligible for education and application SOC design. The platform, fully synthesizable and reconfigurable, includes the OpenRISC embedded processor, some basic peripherals such as GPIO, UART, debug interlace, VGA controller and WISHBONE interconnect.

Design and implementation of the MAC protocol processor prototype for high speed wireless LAN, which has interface with 5GHz OFDM PHY layer, is presented. We analyze the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol specification and then separate the MAC protocol functions to be implemented by hardware and firmware and define the interface in which frames can be exchanged. That is, it is considered that high speed queue processing and interfaces with RISC processor and OFDM PHY layer. Protocol control and transmission/reception functions of the MAC functions are implemented in hardware in order to guarantee high speed processing in MAC layer. The developed MAC hardware block operates at 10MHz main clock. Therefore, transmission rate in PHY layer is about 80Mbps because data transmission/reception between MAC layer and PHY layer is performed as unit of octet. The designed FPGA MAC function chip has been implemented in wireless LAN test board and it is verified that DCF function is operated correctly.

This paper describes a design of cryptographic processor that implements the AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) block cipher algorithm "Rijndael". To achieve high throughput rate, a sub-pipeline stage is inserted into the round transformation block, resulting that the second half of current round function and the first half of next round function are being simultaneously operated. For area-efficient and low-power implementation, the round block is designed to share the hardware resources in encryption and decryption. An efficient scheme for on-the-fly key scheduling, which supports the three master-key lengths of 128-b/192-b/256-b, is devised to generate round keys in the first sub-pipeline stage of each round processing. The cryptoprocessor designed in Verilog-HDL was verified using Xilinx FPGA board and test system. The core synthesized using 0.35-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS cell library consists of about 25,000 gates. Simulation results show that it has a throughput of about 520-Mbits/sec with 220-MHz clock frequency at 2.5-V supply.-V supply.

This paper describes an efficient implementation of KS(Korea Standards) block cipher algorithm ARIA. The ARIA crypto-processor supports three master key lengths of 128/192/256-bit and four modes of operation including ECB, CBC, OFB and CTR. A hardware sharing technique, which shares round function in encryption/decryption with key initialization, is employed to reduce hardware complexity. It reduces about 20% of gate counts when compared with straightforward implementation. The ARIA crypto-processor is verified by FPGA implementation, and synthesized with a $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library. It has 46,100 gates on an area of $684-{\mu}m{\times}684-{\mu}m$ and the estimated throughput is about 1.28 Gbps at 200 MHz@1.2V.
