Nowdays, homes and small businesses rely more and more PON(Passive Optical Networks) for financial transactions, private communications and even telemedicine. Thus, encryption for these data transactions is very essential due to the multicast nature of the PON In this parer, we presented our implementation of a counter mode AES based on Virtex4 FPGA. Our design exploits three advanced features; 1) Composite field arithmetic SubByte, 2) efficient MixColumn transformation 3) and on-the-fly key-scheduling for fully pipelined architecture. By pipeling the composite field implementation of the S-box, the area cost is reduced to average 17 percent. By designing the on-the-fly key-scheduling, we implemented an efficient key-expander module which is specialized for a pipelined architecture.

Generating fast round key in AES Rijndael algorithm using three key sizes, such as 128, 192, and 256-bit keys is a critical factor to develop high throughput AES processors. In this paper, we propose on-the-fly round key generator which is applicable to the pipelined and non-pipelined AES processor in which cipher and decipher nodes must be implemented on a chip. The proposed round key generator has modular and area-and-time efficient structure implemented with simple connection of two key expander modules, such as key_exp_m and key_exp_s module. The round key generator for non-pipelined AES processor with support of three key lengths and cipher/decipher modes has about 7.8-ns delay time under 0.25um 2.5V CMOS standard cell library and consists of about 17,700 gates.
