This paper presents a detailed architecture and instruction set of the SCAN cryptoprocessor. The SCAN cryptoprocessor is a modified SparcV8 processor architecture with a new instruction set to handle image compression, encryption, and information hiding based on the SCAN methodology. The modules for image compression, encryption, and information hiding are synthesized in reconfigurable logic an...

We propose a new design for testability technique, Parallel Serial Full Scan (PSFS), for reducing the test application time for full scan embedded cores. Test application time reduction is achieved by dividing the scan chain into multiple partitions and shifting in the same vector to each scan chain through a single scan in input. The experimental results for the ISCAS89 circuits showed that PS...
