Abstract
SHA-3 was an open competition initiated by NIST to design new generation of hash functions. This competition was a necessity to overcome the challenges imposed by multiple attacks on MDx family of hash functions including SHA-0 and SHA-1. For this competition, NIST announced a reference platform which did not cover Embedded and Mobile machines. This paper compares the performance of SHA-3 final round candidate algorithms on ARM Cortex-M4 processor (embedded processor) and presents the results. Cycles per Byte is used as performance metric. Cortex-M4 based Stellaris® LM4F232 Evaluation Board (EK-LM4F232) from Texas Instruments is used for performance evaluation.
