Abstract

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for performing cryptographic operations. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided for performing cryptographic operations. The apparatus includes a cryptographic instruction, keygen logic, and execution logic. The cryptographic instruction is received by a computing device as part of an instruction flow executing on the computing device. The cryptographic instruction prescribes one of the cryptographic operations, and also prescribes that a provided cryptographic key be expanded into a corresponding key schedule for employment during execution of the one of the cryptographic operations. The keygen logic is operatively coupled to the cryptographic instruction. The keygen logic directs the computing device to expand the provided cryptographic key into the corresponding key schedule. The execution logic is coupled to the keygen logic. The execution logic expands the provided cryptographic key into the corresponding key schedule.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of microelectronics, and in particular to a device and method for performing cryptographic operations in a computing device, wherein the computing device expands a provided cryptographic key into a corresponding key schedule for performing cryptographic operations . Background technique [0002] Early computer systems operated independently of other computer systems, whereby the input data required for applications running on the computer system were either stored in the computer system or provided by the application programmer at the time of execution; The execution result of the application program and the output data generated are generally in the form of printed paper, or files written into tapes, disks, or other types of storage devices of the computer system. The output file can be used as an input file for an application program later executed on the same computer system, or, when the output data was p...
