FPGA Cluster based high performance Cryptanalysis framework

Abhishek Bajpai and S V Kulgod

Abstract

In this paper a ‘FPGA cluster’ based framework for high performance Cryptanalysis has been proposed. The framework abstracts underlying networked FPGA cluster into a unified acceleration resource. It does so by implementing requested amount of computation kernels (cryptographic modules) and managing efficient distribution of the network band-width between the inter-FPGA and intra-FPGA computation kernels. Further agile methodology for developing such networked computation kernels with use of a high level language (Python) based HDL library and seamless integration with a user space crypt analysis application have been discussed. 40-bit partial key attack over AES256 has been demonstrated as a capability demonstration. Performance higher than clustered CPUs and GPUs at lower costs and power is reported.
