Abstract :
A single chip system (figure 1) capable of encryption using the Rivest, Shamir and Adleman (RSA) algorithm at rates significantly higher than other implementations is reported. The chip uses a self-timed methodology and has been implemented in a 2 micron technology. The chip is a complete system and includes registers for the storage of keys for duplex operation. It is provided with a standard interface to a number of common microprocessors.
