In this manuscript, we present a survey of designs and implementations of research sensor
nodes that rely on FPGAs, either based upon standalone platforms or as a combination of …

The current trend in the evolution of sensor systems seeks ways to provide more accuracy
and resolution, while at the same time decreasing the size and power consumption. The use …

One of the main challenges for embedded system designers is to find a tradeoff between
performance and power consumption. In order to reach this goal, hardware accelerators …

The paper aims to give an extensive overview of the energy constraints in Wireless Sensor
Networks and the power management strategies used in the literature as power efficiency is …

In this paper, we investigate the energy cost of the FPGA implementation of two
cryptographic algorithms targeted to wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Recent trends have …

In the last years, a number of research sensor nodes based on the combination of low-
power microcontrollers and FPGAs have been proposed. In these platforms, the FPGAs …

This article proposes a flexible hardware accelerator optimized from a throughput and area
point of view for the computationally intensive part of elliptic curve cryptography. The target …

This article presents a latency-optimized implementation of the SIMECK lightweight block
cipher on a field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) platform with a block and key lengths of …

We have proposed a flexible coprocessor key-authentication architecture for 80/112-bit
