Introduction: Embedded electronic systems on reconfigurable hardware devices make it possible to carry out hybrid hardware/software implementations that allow higher latency functions to be speeded up by hardware, which is why the development of parameterizable hardware architectures that allow their use in various applications is a current field of research. The objective of this work is to expose different contributions in this field related with the acceleration of image processing functions and cryptographic functions, as well as on the detection of possible vulnerabilities against different types of attacks.
Methods: They are presented different development methodologies due to the diversity of the contributions that are staged. It was used for the implementation of the image processing functions, a model-based methodology, making use of the Xilinx System Generator tool together with Matlab/Simulink, as well as a new automatic configuration procedure for the hardware components of the developed library, while they were developed the implementations of the cryptographic functions in hardware description language. For the detection of vulnerabilities, they were used content manipulation and collateral channel attacks for power consumption of the SPA type.
Results: The use of hardware components of the library developed in a vehicle license plate identification application and hardware components of cryptographic functions, duly protected against different attacks, in the ARCANO cryptographic system, as well as the validation that the Binary Euclidean Algorithm is vulnerable to partial knowledge of its execution flow. Conclusions, they are emphasized the fundamental contributions of the research results, as well as their practical utility in real applications.Downloads
