Network Security Crypto Accelerator

The Network Security Crypto Accelerator is a hardware IP core platform that accelerates cryptographic operations in System-on-Chip (SoC) environment on FPGA or ASIC.

This IP is used to accelerate/offload MACsec, IPsec, VPN, TLS/SSL, disk encryption, or any other custom application, requiring symmetric cryptography algorithms. The operations are efficiently offloaded via a built-in scatter-gather DMA optimized to handle networks packets of any size.

The Network Security Crypto Accelerator can also be combined with our Integrated Secure Element/Root of Trust module to form a complete secure enclave, that will handle the keys without exposing them to the software.

General description

The platform integrates your desired selection of our cryptographic IP cores, a DMA and software layers providing a complete solution.

Software Interfacing
