## Introduction ##
Verilog implementation of the SHA-1 cryptgraphic hash function.
The implementaion follows the specification in NIST FIPS 180-4.

This core is based on the project at:
https://github.com/secworks/sha1


## Implementation details ##

### Altera Cyclone FPGAs ###
Implementation results using Altera Quartus-II 13.1.

***Altera Cyclone IV E***
- EP4CE6F17C6
- 2913 LEs
- 1527 regs
- 107 MHz

***Altera Cyclone IV GX***
- EP4CGX22CF19C6
- 2814 LEs
- 1527 regs
- 105 MHz

***Altera Cyclone V***
- 5CGXFC7C7F23C8
- 1124 ALMs
- 1527 regs
- 104 MHz


## TODO ##
* Extensive functional verification in real HW.
* Add Wishbone interface.
* Add results for Xilinx and possibly some other FPGA device.
* Documentation


## Status ##
***(2014-02-23):***

New version of the W memory module that quite drastically improves
resource utilization. And a bit better performance too. Also added some
new results for other Altera devices.


***(2014-02-21):***

Moved the core to Cryptech.
