Abstract
Cryptoprocessors are becoming a standard to make the data-usage more discrete. A wellknown elector-mechanical cipher machine called the “enigma machine” was used in early 20th century to encrypt all confidential military and diplomatic information. With the advent of microprocessors in late 20th century the world of cryptography revolutionized. A cryptosystem is system on chip which contains cryptography algorithms used for encryption and decryption of data. These cryptoprocessors are used in ATM’s and highly portable communication systems. Encryption and decryption are the fundamental processes behind any cryptosystem. There are many encryption and decryption algorithms available; one such algorithm is known as the RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adlean) algorithm. This project focuses on development of an encryption cryptoprocessor which will deal with key generation, key distribution, and encryption parts of the RSA algorithm and also discusses the verification environment required to verify this core.
