In our digital world, the transmission of images between people has played an essential part in everyday communication. As a result, procedures to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the communicated data are required. Today, hashing is the most popular and secure way. This article focuses on the SHA-3 for hashing images dimensions 256 × 256 pixels with our custom implementations on the FPGA based on the Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL). We perform our experiments on the Intel Arria 10 GX FPGA and the Nios II processor. Also, our experiments with calculating metrics such as entropy, NPCR and UACI show that the SHA-3 is secure, reliable and has high application potential for hashing images. We propose designs to improve throughput, security, and efficiency criteria. We strengthened our design using the IP Block Floating Point Hardware 2 (FPH-2). Our experiments with the proposed implementation have shown increased throughput by 14.38% and efficiency by 13.95% of the SHA-3 algorithm. Finally, we compared our findings to other researchers' existing optimization methodologies, giving data that demonstrate our research's strengths.

Hash functions are an essential mechanism in today’s world of information security. It is common practice to utilize them for storing and verifying passwords, developing pseudo-random sequences, and deriving keys for various applications, including military, online commerce, banking, healthcare management, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Among the cryptographic hash algorithms, the Keccak hash function (also known as SHA-3) stands out for its excellent hardware performance and resistance to current cryptanalysis approaches compared to algorithms such as SHA-1 and SHA-2. However, there is always a need for hardware enhancements to increase the throughput rate and decrease area consumption. This study specifically focuses on enhancing the throughput rate of the Keccak hash algorithm by presenting a novel architecture that supplies efficient outcomes. This novel architecture achieved impressive throughput rates on Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices with the Virtex-5, Virtex-6, and Virtex-7 models. The highest throughput rates obtained were 26.151 Gbps, 33.084 Gbps, and 38.043 Gbps, respectively. Additionally, the research paper includes a comparative analysis of the proposed approach with recently published methods and shows a throughput rate above 11.37% Gbps in Virtex-5, 10.49% Gbps in Virtex-6 and 11.47% Gbps in Virtex-7. This comparison allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the novel architecture’s performance and effectiveness in relation to existing methodologies.
