Abstract
A graphics processing unit is programmed to carry out cryptographic processing so that fast, effective cryptographic processing solutions can be provided without incurring additional hardware costs. The graphics processing unit can efficiently carry out cryptographic processing because it has an architecture that is configured to handle a large number of parallel processes. The cryptographic processing carried out on the graphics processing unit can be further improved by configuring the graphics processing unit to be capable of both floating point and integer operations.
