Abstract
Disclosed is a cipher independent cryptographic hardware service. Cipher independent transactions are received into input slots (202). The input slots contain FIFOs to hold the transactions. The transactions are converted from cipher independent form to cipher dependent form (206) and timing as they are removed from the FIFOs. After cryptographic processing by cipher specific hardware, the results are sent to output FIFOs (212). Multiple FIFOs and cryptographic hardware may be used so that multiple cryptographic functions may be performed in parallel and simultaneously.
