Abstract :
Numerous cryptographic algorithms are used to provide computer systems with various security services. The structures of these algorithms are found sequential in term of their data processing mechanisms. Therefore, current cryptographic algorithms are not prepared to embrace the enhancement brought by the multi-core processors. In this paper we propose few possible alternatives to bridge the gap between the powerful multi-core processors and the sequential structures of current cryptography.
