Security Protocol Processor PCI Express Server Adapter / 8x CN1620 Cavium® Based

Product Description

The Silicom protocol processor adapter is a PCI Express server adapter that incorporates 8 Cavium Nitrox 1620 IPSec, IKE, SSL

and TLS protocol processing.

The Silicom protocol processor PCI Express adapter provides bulk cryptographic acceleration for 3DES, DES, AES and ARCFOUR

symmetric encryption algorithms, for the SHA-1 and MD5 hash algorithm, and for the HMAC-SHA-1 and HMAC-MD5 keyed

authentication algorithms. It provides public key acceleration for the RSA, DSA, and diffie-Helman asymmetric algorithms, as well

as basic Modular Math functions.

The Silicom protocol processor PCI Express adapter provides a True Random Number Generator and can use it to generate on-

chip random values for Diffie-Helman key generation and DSA signatures. The adapter is built of a long low profile PCI express

card.

The Silicom protocol processor PCI Express adapter provides combined encryption and HMAC authentication for single

authentication for single-pass IPsec processing. It also executes protocol-specific instruction to support the SSL/TLS or IPsec/IKE

security protocols.

The Silicom Protocol Processor PCI Express adapter is the ideal solution for high-end and mid-end virtual private networking

(VPN), firewall appliances and SSL-based appliances.
