From the advance program for the Custom Integrated Circuits Conference, Rochester NY, May 12-15 1986, page 39: A Fast Asynchronous RSA Encryption Chip G. Orton, L.E. Peppard, S.E. Tavares, Queen's Univ., Kingston, Ontario, Canada This RSA key encryption chip uses asynchronous modulo multiplication to improve the throughput by a factor of 40 relative to a synchronous implementation. The chip is capable of an average throughput of 40 Kbit/sec for 512 bit encryption with a 2-micron CMOS process and a 1 square cm die area.
