Serpent in ICE40, Part 2.


This article is a continuation of "Can the Serpent Cipher fit in the ICE40 FPGA?".

Below is a revision of the forward S-box of Serpent from the previous article, with all of the S-Box equations rewritten in the same form, i.e. using strictly AND, OR, and NOT operations, with none having more than six subclauses, and reformatted for clarity:

module sbox_forward(clk, fire, box_n,
                    a, b, c, d,
                    w, x, y, z);
   // clock
   input wire clk;
 
   // trigger
   input wire fire;
 
   // number of sbox
   input [3:0] box_n;
 
   // inputs
   input [31:0] a;
   input [31:0] b;
   input [31:0] c;
   input [31:0] d;
 
   // outputs
   output reg [31:0] w = 0;
   output reg [31:0] x = 0;
   output reg [31:0] y = 0;
   output reg [31:0] z = 0;

This formulation produces the same test output as previously noted.

Potentially this will make it possible to determine a more compact circuit representation (e.g. one making use of a RAM table populated with constants, on top of a MUX).
