The development of the project into 3 well defined parts: * Creation of hardware architectures * Implementation of a test bench based on an AES algorithm * Testing and Analysis of Results
--- In the first phase I used the [gem5 hardware simulation tool](https://www.gem5.org/) with which I decided to create 3 very different systems with different performances. After I searched the net for a library that implemented the AES cryptographic functions, and then I implemented a C program to be used as a test bench. In the final part of the project I decided which simulations to perform and analyze the data for final report and conclusion. 📚 A final [report](https://github.com/GppCalcagno/ComputerScience-Project/blob/master/Project%20Report.pdf) (and [presentation](https://github.com/GppCalcagno/ComputerScience-Project/blob/master/Project%20Presentation.pdf)) is available in which all the phases of the project are described in detail linked with the analysis of the result
