A fast CMOS VLSI device is describted which, with the use of flexible programmable on-chip control and external control lines, provides the capability to execute the Data Encryption Standard (DES)[2,3,4] algorithm. The device is known as the VERIFIED INPUT SECURITY DEVICE (VISD) since it enables transmitted and received data to be verified by the use of parity checking. The device is directly compatible with most microprocessor families, to which it appears as an 8-byte static RAM, and it is also directly compatible with msot DMA controllers, to which it appears like most peripheral devices. The device uses two clocks, a FAST CLOCK for processing the DES algorithm, and a DATA CLOCK for communicating between the VISD and the MPU or system memory. Full or partial parallelism can be used between encryption and inputJoutput communication, the amount of which depends on the ratio of the DATA CLOCK to the FAST CLOCK. The data throughput rate is estimated to be up to 8Mb/s.
