Title: NIST Awards Grant to George Mason University for Cryptographic Hardware and Software Evaluation
NIST has awarded a grant to George Mason University to develop a comprehensive methodology and environment for evaluating and benchmarking the performance of cryptographic algorithms implemented in various hardware devices. The project aims to create a fair and standardized approach for comparing the efficiency and security of cryptographic hardware such as ASICs, FPGAs, and microprocessors.
Key Points:
– The project will establish a standardized evaluation framework for cryptographic hardware and software
– It will focus on creating a fair and comprehensive benchmarking environment
– The methodology will be applicable to various hardware devices including ASICs, FPGAs, and microprocessors
– George Mason University will lead the project in collaboration with Virginia Tech and the University of Illinois at Chicago
– The project is expected to contribute to the development of secure cryptographic solutions for various applications
The project will be led by George Mason University, with support from Virginia Tech and the University of Illinois at Chicago. The goal is to create a standardized evaluation framework that will help ensure the security and efficiency of cryptographic hardware and software across different devices and applications.
