Abstract
A system and method for encrypting and/or decrypting data with a Cryptomeria (C2) cipher may be provided that generates C2 round keys in parallel. Accordingly, data may be encrypted or decrypted at least twice as fast as without the system. A storage device may encrypt data written to the storage device and/or decrypt data read from the storage device with such a system.
