A symmetric key stream processor 60 that encrypts and decrypts text in accordance with the RC4 algorithm has a main processing block 62 and a host interface 64. The main processing block 62 includes an Sbox memory 78 implemented with a synchronous dual-port RAM and an encryption logic block 80 with a finite state machine. The dual port memory architecture is used for efficiency during permutation and message processing.
