EE Times is carrying the following story:

from above ...

San Jose, Calif. -- Security specialist Certicom Corp. this week will 
roll out a hardware-based approach to protecting silicon intellectual 
property using its elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) technology and a 
20,000-gate embedded core.

... snip ...

in 2000, the initial estimate was 40,000-gate embedded core ... but that 
included the key-gen and public key export as part of initial power-on/test.
