Abstract

AIM is a highly flexible, multi-processor Ultra-Large Scale Integration (ULSI) circuit, designed expressly for implementing programmable cryptographic algorithms. It offers a single, embeddable solution for encryption applications, from the most highly classified to commercial, and is exportable. AIM´s ability to simultaneously run multiple algorithms on multiple channels enables the reduction of the size, weight and power in scenarios where formerly many discrete crypto devices were used. Features of the AIM ULSI and several current applications are discussed, along with description of other areas where programmable, embeddable cryptography can be used
