Summary The project objective is to illustrate how to use commercial, off the shell, multi-core processors to achieve high-speed encryption in a fail-safe way. The proposal documents work that is follow-on to a previous contract funded by the Air Force Crypto Modernization Office. The work proposed here is to extend the work previously done to investigate how the hardware enforced security properties of the Cell Broadband Engine can be used to support both Key Agility and, along with the parallel processing properties of the Cell, provide additional Fail-Safe protections.
