The acceleration of the algorithm is pursued in such a way that the proposed solutions
are
feasible
for
real-world
applications,
addressing
the
requirements
for
fast
and
secure processing of large volumes of data.
The improvement and acceleration of
throughput constitutes a pivotal aspect of this research, driven by the increasing need
for faster and more efficient data processing in modern information infrastructures.
Accordingly, the proposed techniques leverage the flexibility of FPGAs, highlighting
their capability to support adaptive and cryptographic applications with a strong
emphasis on acceleration, while simultaneously maintaining high levels of throughput
and efficiency.
The contributions presented in this dissertation introduce new directions toward more
advanced, efficient, accelerated, and sustainable solutions in the field of cryptographic
applications based on SHA-3 implemented in embedded systems.
Special emphasis
is placed on the development and evaluation of acceleration techniques, which aim
to optimize throughput and/or efficiency, thereby contributing substantially to the
creation of faster and more effective systems.
The dissertation also highlights the
importance of continuous research and development in this field, as technological
challenges intensify and the demand for faster processing times becomes increasingly
pressing.
