Abstract :
High-speed Internet protocol security (IPsec) applications require high throughput and flexible security engines. A loosely coupled cryptocoprocessor based on the advanced encryption standard combines high throughput with programmability. using domain-specific instructions and design principles such as control hierarchy and block pipelining, the security engine supports Internet protocol security and other networking applications.
