Next generation programming environments and architectures for NVM-based computing and storage systems

Abstract

Cryptography has become more important as more information about our life has been digitalized and stored on insecure media. With the fast improving non-volatile memory technology, cryptography would soon become the bottleneck of the system performance. The project is focused on the development of hardware cryptography accelerator. This report consists of the relevant materials about cryptography implementation in modern operating system, and description about the driver implementation to interface with hardware cryptography accelerator.
