A Deep Learning Network-on-Chip (NoC)-Based Switch-Router to Enhance Information Security in Resource-Constrained Devices

In a resource-constrained environment of the 21st century, the use of hardware-based reconfigurable systems such as Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGAs) is considered an effective way to enhance information security. In comparison with traditional custom circuitry that does not give a flexible approach, it is observed that the reconfigurable hardware shows an excellent potential for cyber security by increasing hardware speeds and flexibility. Therefore, in a quest to integrate multi-core systems, the Network-on-Chip (NoC) has become one of the popular widespread techniques to maximize router security. Due to the significant overhead of chip space and the power consumption of the routers, it is substantially more expensive to construct as compared to a bus-based system. The control component (CC) interacts with the networks that inject packets based on router switching and activity. These control components are coupled with each network to produce a system of controlled networks. The system is further linked with CFM or a Centralized Fabric Manager, which serves as the network’s focal point. After that, the CFM runs the algorithm regularly. The analytic parameters comprise flip flop, power, latency, number of lookup tables (LUTs), and throughput. In the proposed method, the number of LUTs is [Formula: see text], the flip flop is [Formula: see text], the power is [Formula: see text]W, the latency is 5941[Formula: see text]ns, and the planned throughput is 0.56 flits/cycle. Results indicate that the crossbar switch reduces errors and minimizes the delay in the architecture’s outcome level, which further overcomes the descriptions of performance, power throughput, and area delay parameters. The findings of the research can be useful to enhance information security among lightweight devices besides minimizing the chances of network attacks in today’s dynamic and complex cyberspace.
