Abstract
Camellia is another symmetric key block cipher with a 128-bit block size and key sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits. As the hardware version of cipher implementation is getting popular, the Camellia hardware design should be constantly improved in terms of performance. The key aim of this research is to design and implement the improved version of Camellia cipher using custom-based approach based on 0.18μm technology. The new hardware Camellia design is synthesized using timing, area and power constraints to achieve less area, less power and high-speed design. Finally the results are been compared and analyzed with previous implementation in terms of performance parameters. The design is described using Verilog HDL and been verified using functional simulation from the Modelsim-Intel FPGA, while Synopsys had been utilized for synthesis process. Based on the generated synthesis reports, the total area consumed by the design on ASIC platform is 1294.11-unit area with a total cell area of 1176.25-unit area, while the total power consumption is 0.1245mW, and an increased speed of more than 80% as compared to previous design. In conclusion, this design had achieved better performance compared to previous design.
