Sandia researchers develop world's fastest encryptor
Soon will protect classified computer information
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --The world's fastest encryption device, developed at
the Department of Energy's (DOE) Sandia National Laboratories, should
soon be protecting data being transmitted from supercomputers,
workstations, telephones and video terminals. It encrypts data at more
than 6.7 billion bits per second, 10 times faster than any other known
encryptor.
