Title: SHA-3 ASICs
Post by: nikolobok38 on December 13, 2017, 08:19:27 AM
Hi folks!

Have some questions:
1. Is there any Keccak, Blake ASICs today? mass produced, available to buy, <=14nm.
2. Could SHA256 ASIC be used (with modified control logic) to calc SHA-3 algos? As I know the main difference for hardware implementation is in using NOT operation by SHA-3 regards ADD operation in SHA-2 ?
3. If second question answer false, then is it able to design multi hash function ASIC combining SHA-2 and SHA-3 algos?
4. Is IBM MOSIS only about design and fabrication process, or about final product features too? 

no flame please, only facts.
