Hardware evaluation of the Luffa hash family

Efficient hardware architectures for the Luffa hash algorithm are proposed in this work. We explore different tradeoffs and propose several architectures, targeting both compact and high-throughput designs. Implemented using UMC 0.13 µm CMOS standard cell library, the most compact architecture of Luffa-224/256 contains 18,260 GE. The same version, optimized for speed, achieves a throughput of almost 32 Gbps, while the throughput of the pipelined design
