<p>A method and apparatus (20) for performing cryptographic computations employing recursive algorithms to accelerate multiplication and squaring operations. Products and squares of long integer values (24) are recursively reduced to a combination of products and squares reduced-length integer values in a host processor (22). The reduced-length integer values are passed to a co-processor (24). The values may be randomly ordered to prevent disclosure of secret data.</p> |
