A new low-power testing methodology to reduce the excessive power dissipation associated with scan-based designs in the deterministic test pattern generated by linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) in built-in self-test is proposed. This new method utilises two split LFSRs to reduce the amount of the switching activity. The original test cubes are partitioned into zero-set and one-set cubes a...

Problem Statement: In this study, we had proposed a low power architecture for high speed multiplication. Approach: The modifications to the conventional shift and add multiplier includes introduction of modified error tolerant technique for addition and enabling of adder cell by current multiplication bit of the multiplier constant. The proposed architecture enables the removal of input multip...

Stream ciphers play an important role in those applications where high throughput remains critical and resources are very restricted e.g. in Europe and North America, A5/1 is widely used stream cipher that ensure confidentiality of conversations in GSM mobile phones. However careful security analysis of such cipher is very important due to widespread practical applicability. The basic building ...
