MSP430F6779: How to implement SHA algorithm on MSP430.

Expert 2780 points
Part Number: MSP430F6779
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SHA-256

Hello,

We are looking into implementing the SHA algorithm in MSP430.

For SHA-256, I referred to the next page.
http://www.ti.com/tool/SHA-256

Are there any documents or information about SHA-384 or SHA-512?

Is it possible to implement with MSP430?

How much RAM / ROM is needed (compared to SHA-256)?

Regards,
Da

  • Hello,

    The only documentation and source code we provide for implementing the SHA algorithm on the MSP430 is for SHA-256, as you've already found.

    It is theoretically possible to implement SHA-384 or SHA-512 on the MSP430 as well, it will just take more cycles and a larger memory footprint. The comparison of memory needed versus SHA-256 is something that you'd have to determine based on the documented differences between between the three different algorithms.

    Best regards,

    Matt
