ASCON Suite Implementation Project

Overview

This GitHub repository contains implementations of ASCON 128, ASCON HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) and ASCON KMAC (Keccak Message Authentication Code) in hardware.

ASCON Suite Hardware Implementation

Description

The hardware implementation of ASCON Suite is designed for efficient and secure cryptographic operations. ASCON Suite is a lightweight cryptographic permutation designed for hardware and software implementation. In this project, we focus on the hardware aspect, optimizing ASCON 128, ASCON HMAC and ASCON KMAC for speed and resource utilization.
