ABSTRACT Data communication is the most important thing in todays world. But there is many obstacles in communicating the data more securely. To overcome this security problem many research work have been done by using various algorithms. In today's world there is a growing demand for real time implementation of cryptographic algorithms which are being used in secure communication systems, networks and security systems. Secure data communication starts with authenticating the user, commonly with a username and a password. Since this requires just one detail authenticating the user name i.e. the password, which is something the user 'knows', this is sometimes termed one-factor authentication. In this research paper a novel reconfigurable processor architecture has been presented using the combination of BLAKE AND RSA ALGORITHM. This cryptographic application bridges the gap of traditional computing techniques and also sustains implementations that can show better performance results than custom hardware. This work presents an emerging reconfigurable hardware architecture that potentially delivers flexible high performance for cryptographic algorithms. The choice of the algorithm is based on the absence of backdoor in both these algorithms.
