Smartcard chips vendors have always done their best to embed more memory inside cards. These efforts are driven to allow their customers smartcard manufacturers - to mask more soft...
We proposed a new block cipher, Serpent, as a candidate for the Advanced Encryption Standard. This algorithm uses a new structure that simultaneously allows a more rapid avalanche,...
We describe the implementation of the Shoup-Rubin key distribution protocol. This protocol stores long-term keys on a smartcard and uses the cryptographic capability of the card t...

With the recent advent of deep sub-micron technology and new packaging schemes such as Multi-Chip Modules(MCMs), integrated circuit components are often not rectangular. Most exis...
In this paper, we present a performance-driven softmacro clustering and placement method which preserves HDL design hierarchy to guide the soft-macro placement process. We also pr...
We propose a simple, isometry invariant pattern matching algorithm for an effective data reduction useful in layout-related data processing of very complex IC designs. The repeata...

As chip size and design density increase, coupling effects (crosstalk) between signal wires become increasingly critical to on–chip timing and even functionality. A method is pr...
Performance-driven physical design is becoming more important as advances in IC technologies enable gigahertz operating frequencies. These same IC technologies, however, exhibit d...
This paper proposes a placement method for a mixed set of hard, soft, and pre-placed modules, based on a placement topology representation called sequence-pair. Under one sequence...
