Description:
Princeton Docket #09-2534-1
This invention proposes a new functional unit to store constants and tables, and new instructions that can read multiple constants in parallel, to speed up the software processing of various algorithms, including the AES encryption and decryption algorithms. AES is the NIST’s Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) which replaced DES (Data Encryption Standard), and is widely deployed. The invention can be used in any microprocessor, embedded processor, cryptoprocessor, Application Specific Instruction Processor (ASIP), System of Chip (SOC), or any programmable processor or computing device.
