The amount of Implantable Medical Devices (IMD)
keeps booming in recent years. However, not many
of them have encryption and decryption methods to
protect their data communication. The purpose of
this thesis work is to profile various popular
symmetric encryption algorithms and select the best
candidates as the benchmark for generic IMD.
Moreover, this thesis gives suggestions for design
digital CPU for generic IMD based on lab work
simulation output.
This thesis work will focus on profiling and analyzing
several metrics: average power consumption, peak
power consumption and energy consumption of all
candidates because those metrics are the crucial
constraint of IMD. Also the background information
of all candidates will be introduced and all relevant
metrics such as security level, encryption rates of all
candidates will be discussed in this thesis work.
