During April 2025, Matziaz developed an AES SubBytes hardware core for the TE2002B repository, implementing the SubBytes transformation in VHDL with an S-box lookup and a state-machine controller to enable byte-wise substitution for AES encryption. The work included creating both the initial hardware module and a comprehensive testbench, followed by iterative refinements to the state machine and expanded test coverage. Matziaz applied skills in digital logic design, hardware description languages, and testbench development to strengthen verification rigor. Although a regression disabled SubBytes_tb tests, the work advanced hardware-accelerated AES capabilities and laid groundwork for higher-throughput cryptographic processing.

April 2025 monthly summary for Matziaz/TE2002B. Delivered AES SubBytes Hardware Core in VHDL with S-box lookup and a state-machine controller for byte-wise substitution. Included initial module and testbench, followed by state-machine refinements and extended test coverage. Observed test execution regression related to SubBytes_tb tests being disabled via a commit; no corrective fix recorded in this period. This work progresses toward a hardware-accelerated AES path and strengthens verification rigor, contributing to more reliable cryptographic throughput.
