FPGA BASED DATA SECURITY DEVICE
Project Area of Specialization Cyber SecurityProject SummaryThese days it is very much important to develop fool-proof ways to guarantee data security. Data
security is essential for every enterprise, irrespective of its size. It is observed that usage of data
has increased business profitability and efficiency but at the same time, it also has potential security
risks that could devastate a company. FPGAs can help achieve these objectives through the
inclusion of special features that address security needs all the way down to the device level. In this
proposal, we propose an FPGA based data security device which would make the data secure from
attacks.
The main objective of the project is to achieve data security by increasing protection levels and customizing the encryption techniques.
Project Implementation MethodThe project has been divided into two major domains described below.
1. Application software
2. Data encryption device.
Application software manages user activities and handle interface of confidential data by transferring data to the device for encryption, there by increasing protection layer and making system more resilient to attacks.
Benefits of the ProjectFor keeping our data safe, Encryption is an important tool.
The need for this FPGA device based data security is because of :
- Hardware encryption is considered to be safer than software encryption because the encryption process is kept separate from the rest of the machine. This makes it much harder to intercept or break.
- The use of a dedicated processor also relieves the burden on the rest of your device, making the encryption/decryption process much faster as compared to that of software.
The customers which will get benefit from our project are:
- Any person who needs data security.
- Any organization who has some confidential data and wants to transfer that data using flash devices like Schools, Military and Police
Deliverables of the project include a prototype consisting of following components.
1. Application Software with fully operational user interface.
2. Nexys FPGA Development kit.
3. USB adapter.
