[ RSA Encryption LSI ]
Accompanying the ongoing expansion of electronic
government and e-commerce transactions over the
Internet, RSA is attracting attention as an encryption
system that can conceal transaction details as well as
authenticate the identities of those involved in
transactions.
The RSA encryption high-speed LSI chip we sell enables
rapid encryption and decryption. Besides the applications
mentioned above, the chip is scheduled to be used to
keep the privacy of hospital patient medical charts.
