The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is currently considered as one of the best symmetric -key block
ciphers. The hardware implementation of the AES for hand-held mobile devices or wireless sensor network
nodes is always required to meet the strict constraints in terms of performance, power and cost. Coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures are recently proposed as the solution that provides high flexibility, high performance and low power consumption for the next-generation embedded systems. This paper presents a flexible, high-performance implementation of the AES algorithm on a coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture, called MUSRA (Multimedia Specific Reconfigur...
