Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recent progresses in control theory resulted in better control precision in exchange for a substantial increase of calculation cost. This researcher has been working on the application of custom computing circuitry to control applications for high-performance real-time control systems. In this research, high-performance arithmetic circuits were investigated; e.g., key-specific encryption circuit, improved hash circuit, the power consumption of key-specific AES circuit, modular multiplication circuit, etc. Inspired by a request from commercial control vendors, secure control logic designs were also investigated to protect intellectual property of various control systems.
