- Description
- This paper will present an implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) on the graphics processing unit (GPU). It investigates the ease of implementation from first principles and the difficulties encountered. It also presents a performance analysis to evaluate if the GPU is a viable option for a cryptographics platform. The AES implementation is found to yield orders of maginitude increased performance when compared to CPU based implementations. Although the implementation introduces complica-tions, these are quickly becoming mitigated by the growing accessibility pro-vided by general programming on graphics processing units (GPGPU) frameworks like NVIDIA’s Compute Uniform Device Architechture (CUDA) and AMD/ATI’s Close to Metal (CTM).
