IPsec Security Processor

Core implements the IPsec and SSL/TLS security standard at high data rates that require the cryptographic processing acceleration.

Overview

Core implements the IPsec and SSL/TLS security standard at high data rates that require the cryptographic processing acceleration. The ISP1-128 core is tuned for applications with the data rates of 10-100 Gbps in advanced ASIC geometries.

The design is fully synchronous and available in both source and netlist form.

Key features

  • Support for IPv4 and IPv6 packets
  • Support for the IPsec ESP and AH protocols:
    • Insertion / removal of headers and trailers; internal padding
    • Transport and tunnel modes of operation
    • Integrity Check Value (ICV) insertion and validation
    • Transport and Tunnel Adjacency (AH+ESP combination) support
  • Support for IPsec ESP encryption algorithms per RFC 4835:
    • NULL
    • AES-CBC (128- and 256-bit keys)
    • TripleDES-CBC
  • Support for IPsec ESP (and AH for –AH option) authentication algorithms per RFC 4835:
    • HMAC-SHA1-96
    • AES-XCBC-MAC-96
  • Optional support for SSL 2.0, 3.0 and TLS 1.0. 1.1, and 1.2 (-SSL option). Capable of supporting simultaneous SSL/TLS and IPsec data flows. SSL/TLS cipher support includes:
    • Block ciphers with hash-based authentication
    • AEAD ciphers
  • Support for SSL / TLS block ciphers:
    • RC4
    • TripleDES-CBC
    • AES-CBC (128-, 192- and 256-bit keys)
    • AES-GCM (128- and 256-bit) (-GCM option)
  • Support for SSL / TLS hashes:
    • MD5  SHA-1
    • SHA-256
    • SHA-384
    • SHA-512
  • Additional cryptographic algorithms available upon request
  • Built-in cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator
  • Replay protection
  • Scalable high performance. Scaling is achieved through adjustable number of encryption engines inside and configurable throughput of the connection parameters memory .
  • FIFO-like interface with flexible bit width; simple integration into the datapath.
  • Dedicated encryption and decryption configurations, duplex option with shared connection context memory available.
  • Support for Galois Counter Mode Encryption and authentication (GCM), Galois Message Authentication (GMAC)
  • Flow-through design
  • Built-in connection parameters database and lookup engine
  • OpenSSL integration (integration with other packages upon request)
  • Optional statistics block
  • No segmentation/reassembly support in the IPsec transport mode
