Ingrid Verbauwhede - Research Projects (not up to date)
The research in this group is focused on VLSI system, architecture and
circuit design, and VLSI design methodologies for special purpose processors
and ASIC's as they end up in embedded systems. We typically start with
a study of the application domain, i.e. extract specific requirements.
Then we profile on existing implementation platforms, such as embedded
micro-controllers, DSP processors and/or FPGA's. Lastly, we develop reconfigurable
or reprogrammable architectures and design methodologies for the given
application domain. More specifically, we have research in the following
general topics:
Topics:
Cryptography
AES - Rijndael implementation
Presentation
at the Annual Research Review 2000
Elliptic curve Public Key encryption systems on FPGA's
Circuit techniques against power and timing attacks
Reconfigurable architectures and interconnect for cryptographic algorithms
Programmable DES processor (my Ph.D. work)
Wireless communications:
DSP processors for wireless communications
Turbo coding implementations
Baseband processing for Bluetooth and its interaction with the RF front-end
Embedded routers
Programmable/Reconfigurable co-processors for header processing
This work fits in the Distributed Embedded Systems Program
(DESP)
