Evariste III - A Modular Hardware System for Development and Evaluation of Cryptographic Functions and Random Number Generators

The system Evariste III is aimed at development and evaluation of cryptographic functions and primitives in reconfigurable hardware. It consists of a set of hardware, software and design tools making the development and evaluation of cryptographic functions easier. All the tools are open source and their reliable function was approved in many projects. The hardware components of the toolkit were developed in cooperation with the MICRONIC s.r.o. company, Slovakia. The system is still in development and different interfaces (such as SPI and optical interface) and devices (new FPGA Modules) are regularly added to the system.
