+# Planning for SUNET funded Cryptech Work
+The following documents the first two development steps in Cryptech
+funded by SUNET. The development is being done by Joachim Strömbergson
+from Secworks AB.
+
+## Step one (Deadline 2014-02-28)
+
+- Acquire a FPGA development platform.
+
+DONE. We have a Terasic DE0 board and a Terasic Cyclone V GX starter kit board.
+
+
+
+- Create a working development and verification flow from RTL design
+ downto FPGA.
+
+
+
+- Verify the functionality of the SHA-256 core in a physical FPGA.
+
+
+
+### Actions for step one
+
+- Select FPGA development board to acquire
+ - Large enough to test sub systems and possibly a complete HSM.
+ - Good external interfaces for communication with host systems.
+ - Good external interfaces to entropy sources, memories,
+ GPIO. Arduino Shields would be good.
+
+
+
+- Create a survey on interconnect standards usable for Cryptech
+ - Availability and market share/usage in third party cores.
+ - License
+ - Technical details - Bus, fabric, performance etc.
+
+
+
+
+- Create base coretest functionality to allow testing of cores in the
+ FPGA on the development board. Read and write access to registers
+ over a known communication channel.
+
+
+
+- Verify the development flow from Verilog RTL downto FPGA.
+
+
+
+- Verifiera SHA-256 core using coretest.
+
+
+
+- Start FPGA tool survey
+ - What is available as open tools and what is the status.
+ - What is available as open tools from the vendors.
+ - Talk to people in the industry to get their views on an open toolchain.
+
+
+
+## Step two (Deadline 2014-03-31)
+
+- Produce first draft of design proposal to the Cryptech True Random Number Generator (TRNG)
+ - Security target, security model and assumptions
+ - Structure, architecture
+ - API
+ - Functionality
+ - Online test system
+ - Verification model
+ - First two entropy sources
+
+
+
+- Complete SHA-1 core. Including functional verification in FPGA.
+
+
+
+- First draft of SHA-256 and SHA-1 core documentation.
+
+
+
+### Actions for step two
+
+- Create template for documentation
+
+
+
+- Collect info on known TRNGs and TRNG strategies
+
+
+
+- Collect info on online tests being used.
+
+
+
+- Create proposal for architecture.
+
+
+
+- Write implementation proposal.
+
+
+
+- Specify API.
+
+
+
+- Write security target and security model.
+
+
+
+- Write assumptions and limitations.
+
+
+
+- Write verification model.
+
+
+
+- Finalize SHA-1 core RTl.
+
+
+
+- Build SHA-1 core in FPGA.
+
+
+
+- Verify SHA-1 functionality in FPGA using coretest.
+
+
+
+- Write documentation for SHA-256 core.
+
+
+
+- Write documentation for SHA-1 core.
