Abstract

A device and method is provided using a split processor based architecture to provide physical security of critical information by implementing a required protocol before releasing critical information. The critical information is used as a key to a cryptographic algorithm. A chaotic cryptographic algorithm is also provided including a defined key space employing six parameters of a Lorenzian system of equations.
