Abstract
The present invention relates to a cryptographic apparatus for encrypting data stored in a memory. The cryptographic apparatus of the present invention operates in the ECB, CBC, CBC-MAC, counter and OCB modes using small and simple elements. The cryptographic apparatus minimizes data communication between CPU and the cryptographic apparatus to improve the performance of the communication system. On the other hand, the input buffer and output buffer of the cryptographic apparatus are configured to store at least two blocks respectively, so that the performance of the cryptographic apparatus is maximized. Furthermore, the cryptographic apparatus supports zero-padding, so that the process of the CPU is minimized.
