Abstract
Methods and apparatus for an encryption processor for performing accelerated computations to establish secure network sessions. The encryption processor includes an execution unit and a decode unit. The execution unit is configured to execute Montgomery operations and including at least one adder and at least two multipliers. The decode unit is configured to determine if a square operation or a product operation needs to be performed and to issue the appropriate instructions so that certain multiply and/or addition operations are performed in parallel in the execution unit while performing either the Montgomery square or Montgomery product operation.
