Secure protocol communication by hardware
Our SSL/TLS engine accelerates and offloads processing for encryption / decryption and authentication in SSL / TLS by combining our TCP offload and crypt engine.
Since the record layer processing is completely hardware offloaded, the user application can overwhelmingly reduce the CPU load which only needs preparing the data to transfer securely.
In addition, by creating the SSL/TLS tunnel between the terminal and the host, the high performance and low latency VPN is possible.
Two types of IP are available, one for embedded devices and the other for servers.
HW takes over high-performance, low-latency secure communication and contributes to power consumption reduction
With PTU (TLS extension) integrated with the crypto engine, the data transmission process in SSL / TLS is completed with full hardware.
Even if a dedicated HW is used for encryption, memory transfer occurs before and after encryption in a normal system. This is because the TCP / IP protocol stack is separated (left figure).
However, with Intellectual Highway’s TLS-enhanced PTU, there is no extra memory transfer of encrypted data or data required for the TLS protocol (right figure). Therefore, high-performance, low-latency secure communication is achievable.
