Abstract: *Abstract: Robots used in environments with movement and physical changes need uninterrupted and secure flowing streams of sensor data to retain autonomy, maintain situational awareness, and ensure reliability of the system. That said, standard cryptography processing takes place in general-purpose processors and can introduce increased latencies, computation overhead, and consume more power. These issues can negatively affect the performance of the robots in real time. This invention involves developing an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) designed for the acceleration and offloading of lightweight, inmotion, end-to-end cryptographic operations, particularly for streaming data to and from sensors on the robots. This ASIC has a cryptographic engine which streamlines the processes of encryption, authentication, and session creation, but with lower power consumption than standard engines created for robotics. The ASIC has a high-speed data-flow architecture for sensor-to-network communications that execute stream ciphering at a determined and predictable clock cycle, with the architecture ciphering high- volume data streams without breaking real-time telemetry and control loops. To adapt to changes in mobility, the ASIC has offloading strategies for cryptography processing to nearby edge devices based on their power, processing availability, and connection with the system. The integrity of the system is intact with detection of physical security breaches, secure boot, and key material in a protected and non-accessible environment. Due to the overall form and pin interfaces of the ASIC, rapid and easy deployment of the ASIC is possible in various settings: for example, using the ASIC in self-driving cars, drones, industry, or robots working in unison. The incorporation of customized hardware acceleration along with cryptographic dynamic orchestration enhances throughput, responsiveness, and energy efficiency in robotic communication. Thus, it secures sensor data without hampering the required active levels for higher autonomous actions and successful completion of the mission.int-of-Car
