In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor having logic to perform a round of a cryptographic algorithm responsive to first and second round micro-operations to perform the round on first and second pairs of columns, where the logic includes dual datapaths that are half the width of the cryptographic algorithm width (or smaller). Additional logic may be used to combine the results of the first and second round micro-operations to obtain a round result. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
