SafeXcel™ IP-154 Public Key Infrastructure Cores by AuthenTec

Product Description

SafeXcel-IP-154: Public Key Infrastructure Cores 

Designed for full scalability and an optimal performance over gate count ratio, AuthenTec's SafeXcel™ IP-154 Public Key Infrastructure Cores s address the unique needs of semiconductor OEMs and provide a reliable and cost-effective IP solution that is easy to integrate into SoC designs.

The SafeXcel-IP-154 Public-Key Processor Farm  can be deployed in semiconductors that are used for Internet Protocol Security (IPsec), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Transport Layer Security (TLS), Secure Real Time Protocol (sRTP) and MACsec protocol implementations, such as handheld devices, gateways, and certificate authority servers. The SafeXcel-IP-154 offers the most cost and power effective solution to provide acceleration for well known Public Key cryptography based algorithms such as RSA, DSA, DH, ECC and ElGamal cryptography.

The SafeXcel-IP-154 offers the ultimate solution for SoC designs that need extreme Public Key Accelerations and key generation. The SafeXcel-IP-154 comprises of a farm of 2 to 10 SafeXcel-IP-28 cores, controlled by an embedded controller. Features are identical to the embedded SafeXcel-IP-28 cores. Optionally the SafeXcel-IP-154 is offered with an embedded SafeXcel-IP-76 True Random Number generator and/or a SafeXcel-IP-36 AES core for supporting black keys (encrypted keys).
