Abstract
A receiver apparatus and method for optimized decryption and despreading of a very low frequency (VLF) bitstream is disclosed. In embodiments, the receiver includes antenna elements for receiving a transmission security (TRANSEC) encoded bitstream associated with an uncertainty window size and a spread factor. The receiver includes cryptographic processors that, when the spread factor is sufficiently large, select key section numbers A and data section numbers B based on the window size and spread factor. The cryptographic processors generate an output sequence of correlation windows, each correlation window associated with a symbol of the bitstream, via pipelined sectional mirrored-key convolution based on a key section number A and data section number B chosen to optimize performance (e.g., processor performance, memory performance).
