Security ICs

In the area of Security ICs, like a Trusted Platform Module or a SmartUSB $ \mu$-controller, the use of a modular arithmetic coprocessor for the AES implementation described here, will provide an encryption engine, fast enough and very secure for many applications, like bulk encryption, that with a standard software implementation could not be achieved.
