GPU Accelerated Keccak (SHA3) Algorithm
Hash functions like SHA-1 or MD5 are one of the most important cryptographic
primitives, especially in the field of information integrity. Considering the
fact that increasing methods have been proposed to break these hash algorithms,
a competition for a new family of hash functions was held by the US National
Institute of Standards and Technology. Keccak was the winner and selected to be
the next generation of hash function standard, named SHA-3. We aim to implement
and optimize Batch mode based Keccak algorithms on NVIDIA GPU platform. Our
work consider the case of processing multiple hash tasks at once and implement
the case on CPU and GPU respectively. Our experimental results show that GPU
performance is significantly higher than CPU is the case of processing large
batches of small hash tasks
