Abstract

This paper describes a successful hardware implementation of the RSA algorithm. It is implemented as an 120-bit bit-slice processor, which may be interconnected without additional circuitry to obtain arbitrary word lengths. With 512-bit operands, exponentiation takes less than 30 milliseconds.
