Does anyone know of sources for des chips??? Are there any public key chips out there??? Has anyone ever tried putting PGP on a chip??? RSA??? (Are these too slow for realistic real time hardware voice/data encryption??) I know a little about digital electronics (I am a computer engineering student) and I would love to get some data books and see if I could come up with a secure "encryption box" that people could build.
I don't know off the top of my head who makes DES and RSA chips. I am sure there are many manufactors of DES chips. Try TI, National, and Motorola. I belive that Schneier has a list of RSA chip makers. For the DSP part of a "bump in the cord" encrytion box, you want to get the "TI TMS320 Family Development Support" booklet by calling (800) 477-8924. You also want to look at Motorola's 68000 CPU, DSP, and controller on one chip. I can't recall the exact product number. Just call Motorola and ask for it.
