This paper is devoted to the development of the hardware-software complex for the safe transfer of information. The object of development is the complex, which consist of three devices: two personal computers and the FPGA. A message is entered and encrypted on the first PC, then it is sent to the FPGA, which generates digital signature, the second PC receives the message, verifies the signature, and decrypt the message. To achieve the goal of developing this complex, an analysis of existing solutions was conducted, as well as the choice of methods for protecting information, the choice of hardware and development tools. The result of this work is a set of modules and applications that ensures the operation of the complex. The scope of this work – 57409 characters, it contains 44 figures, 7 tables and 27 sources.
