EAGER: Hardware-Efficient Realization of UA Cryptographic Standards

The country of Ukraine has its own standardized cryptographic algorithms, namely Kalyna - block cipher and Kupyna - hash function, which are significantly dissimilar to other standardized solutions adopted by NIST in the US. For several reasons, including performance and security, hardware implementations of cryptographic algorithms are sought. In this project, the partners based in US, Estonia, and Ukraine will jointly investigate how to implement these specific algorithms as an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) while disseminating knowledge in both directions, from and to Ukraine.
