Verilog implementation of the SHA-1 cryptgraphic hash function. The
functionality follows the specification in NIST FIPS 180-4.
This core is based on the project at:
https://github.com/secworks/sha1
The implementation is iterative with one cycle/round. The initialization
takses one cycle. The W memory is based around a sliding window of 16
32-bit registers that are updated in sync with the round processing. The
total latency/message block is 82 cycles.
There are top level wrappers that provides interface for easy
integration into a System on Chip (SoC). This interface contains mesage
block and digest registers to allow a host to load the next block while
the current block is being processed.
The implementation also includes a functional model written in Python.
The sha1 design is divided into the following sections.
- src/rtl - RTL source files
- src/tb - Testbenches for the RTL files
- src/model/python - Functional model written in python
- doc - documentation (currently not done.)
- toolruns - Where tools are supposed to be run. Includes a Makefile for
building and simulating the design using Icarus Verilog
The actual core consists of the following files:
- sha1_core.v - The core itself with wide interfaces.
- sha1_w_mem.v - W message block memort and expansion logic.
- sha1_k_constants.v - K constants ROM memory.
The top level entity is called sha1_core. This entity has wide
interfaces (512 bit block input, 160 bit digest). In order to make it
usable you probably want to wrap the core with a bus interface.
Unless you want to provide your own interface you therefore also need to
select one top level wrapper. There are two wrappers provided:
- sha1.v - A wrapper with a 32-bit memory like interface.
- wb_sha1.v - A wrapper that implements a Wishbone interface.
Do not include both wrappers in the same project.
The core (sha1_core) will sample all data inputs when given the init
or next signal. the wrappers provided contains additional data
registers. This allows you to load a new block while the core is
processing the previous block.

Updated README with some more information about the design.
(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.
