Secure Cryptographic Implementations Lab

Secure Cryptographic Implementations Lab (SCI-Lab)

Secure Cryptographic Implementations Lab is a Carleton University research lab that investigates the implementation of cryptographic algorithms. Our goal is to propose open-sources hardware and software cryptographic cores that are small, fast, efficient, require low energy and secure against Implementation Attacks.
