Tomorrow's Cryptography:

Parallel Computation via Multiple Processors, Vector

Processing, and Multi-Cored Chips
Eric C. Seidel, advisor Joseph N. Gregg PhD

December 30, 2002

Abstract. This paper summarizes my research during my independent study on cryptography

in the fal l term of 2002. Here I state the growing need for better cryptography, introduce con-

sumer hardware architectures of near future, and identify the growing discrepancy between

the hardware on which current cryptographic standards were designed and the hardware the

future consumer wil l be using. I note then the need for a new "modern" cryptography based

on the presence of paral lel processing capabilities in forthcoming consumer machines and the

lack of support of such capabilities in some current and al l legacy crypto algorithms. I list

approaches used in past research to paral lelize cryptographic algorithms. I then summarize

various current algorithms and potential......
