A cryptographic system (500) includes cryptographic sub-units (510) and associated input buffers (520) connected to a scheduler (530) and a reassembler (540). The scheduler (530) receives packets, where each of the packets includes one or more data blocks, and assigns each of the packets to one of the sub-units (510). The input buffers (520) temporarily store the packets from the scheduler (530). Each of the sub-units (510) performs a cryptographic operation on the data blocks from the associated input buffer (520) to form transformed blocks. The reassembler (540) receives the transformed blocks from the sub-units (510), reassembles the packets from the transformed blocks, and outputs the reassembled packets in a same order in which the packets were received by the scheduler (530).
