Abstract

Data security is currently become a serious concern in wireless communication system for both the users and providers. Without a secure medium, the data transmission is exposed to various types of wireless attacks. Therefore, this paper focuses on the development of a high performance parallel-pipelined-memory-based (P2M) Blowfish as a security design with reduced field programmable gate array (FPGA) utilization, which is the best security design to be embedded in the mobile devices. Through FPGA platform, the performance of the proposed Blowfish shows that a throughput increases by 10.5%, with the hardware utilization and power consumption decrease by 3.5% and 21%, respectively. The P2M Blowfish was validated in two-way communication channel by using FPGA-based radio platform together with ZigBee technology and the real-time transmission was measured in terms of bit-error-rate, received power and communication range. These characteristics have proven that the proposed P2M Blowfish possesses the ability to replace the advanced encryption standard which is known as a complex algorithm employed by most of the wireless communication standards.
