Microprocessors And Data Encryption
George I. Davida, David L. Wells · 1979
The use of microprocessors for implementing some of the new public cryptographic algorithms is examined. Time and space requirements for the various encryption programs are studied and applications where microprocessor based encryption would be able to meet throughput requirements are identified. It is concluded that with currently available microprocessors, micro-based encryption is useful for offline encryption/decryption, electronic mail systems, and most terminal applications.
