Overview
The EIP-96 is an Inline Cryptographic Accelerator designed to accelerate and offload the very CPU intensive IPsec, MACsec, SRTP, SSL, TLS and DTLS protocol operations. The In-line Multi-Protocol Engine is suited for communications processors and other general-purpose processors that require maximum data plane offload to dedicated security hardware. The Multi-Protocol Engine accommodates designs that already include Packet Classifiers (such as NPUs) as well as designs that require bulk crypto processing without any flow processing. In addition, the Multi-Protocol Engine can be used in various SoC architectures, even 'look-a-side' architectures.

The cybersecurity threat landscape is dynamic and rapidly evolving. Indeed, attackers are constantly finding new ways to exploit critical vulnerabilities across a wide range of applications and devices. Protecting data and devices requires secure processes running on systems and networks.
A Root of Trust is the foundation on which all secure operations of a computing system depend. It contains the keys used for cryptographic functions and enables a system-wide secure boot process. It is inherently trusted and therefore must be secure by design.
Over the past several weeks, we’ve seen growing discussion across the industry about Google’s latest publications on quantum computing and cryptography. In some corners, those discussions have quickly escalated into claims that widely deployed elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), including ECDSA, is on the verge of collapse. Customers are understandably asking questions: Has ECDSA been broken? Are today’s systems suddenly at risk? Do migration timelines need to change?
The goal of this white paper is to provide a primer introduction to RoT and how to choose a right RoT as the trust anchor for a novel hardware based security architecture
