摘要：In the present era of e-world where security has got a larger weightage, cryptography has itsrole to play. Nowadays, the devices available in the market are of resource constrained type.Hence we need lightweight ciphers for the efficient encryption of data thereby increasing theperformance. In this project a detailed study of HIGHT cryptographic algorithm is done whichoutperforms standard algorithms. HIGHT is an ISO Standard block cipher which has 64-bitblock length and 128-bit key length. HIGHT was designed to be proper for the implementationin the low resource environment such as WSN, WBN, RFID tag or tiny ubiquitous devices. It isimplemented on Spartan 6 FPGA evaluation kit and performance metrics are found out. AHIGHT cryptocore is being designed, characterized and implemented which will be a referenceplatform for hardware design engineers to model devices which require lightweightcharacteristics.
