Parallelism has long been used to increase the throughput of applications that process independent data. With the advent of multicore technology designers and programmers are increasingly forced to think in parallel. In this paper we present the evaluation of an encryption core capable of handling multiple data streams. The design is oriented towards future scenarios for internet, where throughput capacity requirements together with privacy and integrity will be critical for both personal and corporate users. To power such scenarios we present a technique that increases the efficiency of memory bandwidth utilization of cryptographic cores. We propose to feed cryptographic engines with multiple streams to better exploit the available bandwidth. To validate our claims, we have developed an AES core capable of encrypting two streams in parallel using either ECB or CBC modes. Our AES core implementation consumes trivial amount of resources when a Virtex-II Pro FPGA device is targeted. © 2008 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
