Increasing the smart instrument based social and economical activity, problems of electronic business's safety, reliability and user's privacy are be on the rise. so variety standard cryptography algorithms for information security have been developed in korea and How to efficiently implement them in a variety of environments is issued. ARIA and SEED, developed in Korea, are standard block cipher algorithm to encrypt the 128-bit plaintext, are each configured Feistel, SPN structure. In this paper, SEED and ARIA were implemented using the GEZEL language that can be used easily in the software designer because grammar is simple compared to other hardware description language. In particular, in this paper, will be described in detail the characteristics and design method using GEZEL as the first paper that implements 128bits ARIA and SEED and it showed the flexibility and efficiency of development using GEZEL. SEED designed GEZEL is occupied 69043 slice, is operating Maximum frequency 146.25Mhz and ARIA is occupied 7282 slice, is operating Maximum frequency 286.172Mhz. Also, Speed of SEED designed and implemented signal flow method is improved 296%.

In this paper, we propose the efficient HW/SW co-design method of light-weight cryptography such as HIGHT, PRESENT and PRINTcipher using GEZEL. At first the symmetric cryptographic algorithms were designed using the GEZEL language which is efficiently used for HW/SW co-design. And for the improvement of performance the HW optimization theory such as unfolding, retiming and so forth were adapted to the cryptographic HW module conducted by FSMD. Also, the operation modes of those algorithms were implemented using C language in 8051 microprocessor, it can be compatible to various platforms. For providing reliable communication between HW/SW and preventing the time delay the improved handshake protocol was chosen for enhancing the performance of the connection between HW/SW. The improved protocol can process the communication-core and cryptography-core on the HW in parallel so that the messages can be transmitted to SW after HW operation and received from SW during encryption operation.
