 Introduction

What is Encryption?

Why we need Encryption of Voice?

Provide security Avoid criminal activity Public safety

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

 OBJECTIVES
Unencrypted public safety voice transmissions can be intercepted, abetting
criminal activity, thwarting public safety efforts, and endangering the public
and public safety personnel.

Providing security for the given data or voice signal

Voice encryption helps ensure that voice transmissions can be accessed only
by authorized personnel, thereby increasing the safety and efficiency of
public safety personnel.

Voice encryption adds complexity to voice networks.

 AES Algorithm
DES AES
Key size 168 bits 128/192/256 bits

It works in parallel over the whole input block

Block size 64 bits 128 bits

• Block size: 128 bit (but also 192 or 256 bit)

Speed
It’s a block cipher which
• KeyLow
length: 128, 192, or 256 bitHigher
works iteratively
• Number of rounds: 10, 12 o 14

Speed depends on • No key

Add round Yes

 WHY FPGA?
FPGAs provide the only major alternative to custom and semicustom Application
Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs).

Shorter design cycle leading to fully functioning device prototypes.

Lower cost of the computer-aided design tools, verification and testing.

system-building resources as high-speed serial I/Os, arithmetic modules, embedded

processors and large amounts of memory

Higher accuracy of comparison: in the absence of the physical design and fabrication.
 ADVANTAGES OF VOICE ENCRYPTION

Excellent resistance to known attacks

Prevents unauthorized parties from

successfully monitoring radio traffic.

Enhances personnel security.

Increased speed

More reliable, Good flexibility

 Applications

Military Speakerphones Tele

applications and walky talky Communication
