The implementation of cryptographic algorithms plays an important role because of growing requirements of high speed and high level of secure communications. Implementation of cryptographic algorithms on hardware runs faster than on software and at the same time offering more intrinsic security. The paper involves the design of high performance architecture of a well known cryptographic algorithm- RC4 stream cipher and its performance analysis. The cipher architecture is designed using VerilogHDL and finally programmed into Spartan3 FPGA
