WireGuard on FPGA

FPGA implementation of Wireguard protocol written in SpinalHDL

This project will do an open hardware implementation of the WireGuard VPN protocol. The data plane with symmetric cryptography is implemented in HDL and should be able to handle 100 Gbit/s IP/Ethernet, whereas the asymmetric handshake is implemented on VexRiscv with accelerators and will be capable of maintaining thousands of concurrent connections. An off-the-shelf FPGA card handles the full protocol transparently: Ethernet/Ethernet or Ethernet/PCIe with one side ciphered and the other side plaintext.
