Subject: Application for Summer Internship
Dear sir,
I am a pre-final year undergraduate student doing Bachelor of
Technology in Electronics and Communication Engineering at Indian
Institute of Technology(IIT),Guwahati, one of the premier institutes
for Engineering and Applied Sciences in India. I am looking for a
challenging opportunity for summer internship in the field of
1. Applied Cryptography.
2. Computer Networks (security).
3. VLSI Design.
for the period of May-July 2004 and I am very keen to pursue the same
under your able guidance.
To consolidate my knowledge in my fields of interest I have done a
project in the field of VLSI design and Cryptography at Microprocessor
and Software Group (MPSG) in HCL Technologies Limited, India(details
in CV).The details of my other work experience are given in my CV.
I have gone through your research activities given on your homepage.
I would be very fortunate to have an opportunity of working under
distinguished researcher such as you. Hence, I request you to consider
me for training under your expert guidance, for a suitable available
project in the above fields.
I am fully aware of the commitment and perseverance required for
internship and believe that my aptitude and motivation will help me

MAJOR PROJECTS:
---------------
RSA HARDWARE ACCELERATOR
- The RSA accelerator is to generate C = M exp e (mod n) for
encryption and M = C exp d (mod n) for decryption.
- Used in RSA Cryptography Standard (PKCS#1 v2.1).
- Decryption done in two ways :
1.CRT (Chinese RemainderTheorem).
2.Normal method of M = C exp d (mod n).
Performance Requirements
- The RSA Accelerator (1024 bits) should function properly
at least at 20 megahertz.
- Encryption/Decryption time for 1024 bit N should be 300ms.
- Decryption time using CRT is 100 ms.
Designation: Project trainee
Duration: May - July 2003.
