I have recently released a new hardware design of the Ascon cipher (github.com/rprimas/ascon-ver…). It is written in Verilog, is easy to work with, and comes with a very permissive CC0 license. Have fun 😉.

What’s coco? Co-design and co-verification of course! @tugraz’s @barbaragigerl goes over these two for software implementations on #CPUs and how it analyzes the popular 32-bit #RISCV Ibex core at the #RISCVSummit at 12 p.m. PT today: bddy.me/3oB8VaT
