Described were the algorithm and circuitry architecture of low cost advanced encryption standard (AES) implementation for wireless sensor network. The design of AES coprocessor was implemented by trade-offs between power dissipation, area and speed, focusing the optimization of area and power consumption. Module reusing method in encryption and decryption process is proposed to optimize chip area. Some techniques of S-box design and reducing combinational circuit invalid switch are presented to reduce power consumption after analysis of the bottleneck of low power design. The results of the power simulation are demonstrated. The proposed AES coprocessor solution can reach high operation speed at a rate of 1.33 byte per clock cycle.
