Systems and methods for facilitating data encryption and decryption and erasing of associated information

Abstract:

Various techniques provide systems and methods for facilitating data encryption/decryption and almost immediate erasure of associated information. In one example, a method includes receiving first data in a first memory. The method further includes receiving a first key in a second memory. The method further includes generating, by a logic circuit, second data based on the first data and the first key. The method further includes providing the second data for transmission. The method further includes erasing the first data and/or the first key in one-half clock cycle of generating the second data. Related methods and devices are also provided.
