Abstract
The present invention provides a high speed data encryption architecture in which fabric elements are communicatively coupled to one another via a hardwired interconnect. Each of the fabric elements includes a plurality of wide field programmable gate array (FPGA) blocks used for wide datapaths and a plurality of narrow FPGA blocks used for narrow datapaths. Each of the plurality of wide FPGA blocks and each of the plurality of narrow FPGA blocks are communicatively coupled to each other. A control block is communicatively coupled to each of the fabric elements via the hardwired interconnect to provide control signals to each of the fabric elements. The fabric elements are used to implement cryptographic algorithms.
