I've got a networking application upon which I'm working that requires
high-speed DES capability that can be clocked up to around 20
megabytes/second. We're going to have to do circuit board level design,
so I can't plug a stand-alone box on the ass-end of the network device -
it's got to be planted into our network controller. This thing is going
to provide ATM/SONET communications.
Does anyone know of any chip sets that can run at this speed? Input
regarding either commercial or R&D sources would be appreciated. I know
that two years ago at the Internet Security meeting in San Diego we saw a
parallel processor configuration of DES chips, but I can't remember which
University in North Carolina was working on this. If anyone knows if
this research went anywhere, I'd appreciate hearing about that as well.
Thanks for the help!
