PE2G4i6SC62 - Security Accelerator and Quad Port Copper Multifunction PCI-Express Server Adapter
Adapter
Introduction
Silicom’s Security Accelerator and Quad Port Copper Multifunction Server adapter is integrative PCI Express X8 adapter that includes Security Process accelerator and Gigabit Ethernet quad ports on a PCI Express adapter.
Silicom’s Security Accelerator and Quad Port Copper Multifunction Server adapter is based on Cavium NITROX CN1620 security processor accelerator and two Intel 82576 Gigabit Ethernet controllers. Silicom’s Security Accelerator and Quad Port Copper Multifunction Server adapter is complete PCI Express server adapter solution that incorporates Gigabit Ethernet ports and security processor accelerator for IPSec, IKE, SSL and TLS protocol processing. Silicom’s Security Accelerator and Quad Port Copper Multifunction Server adapter is the ideal solution for implementing multiple network segments, mission-critical high-powered networking applications and environments within high performance servers, and targeted to security servers / security appliances.
Silicom’s Security Accelerator and Quad Port Copper Multifunction Server 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. Silicom’s Security Accelerator and Quad Port Copper Multifunction Server adapter provides a True Random Number Genrator and can use it to generate on-chip random values for Diffie-Helman key generation and DSA signatures.
Silicom’s Security Accelerator and quad Port Copper Multifunction Server 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.
Macro processing within the CN1620 processor, allows systems to offload high-level SSL or IPsec protocol commands that reduce the host I/O traffic and system processor to increase the total system throughput. This also frees system processor resources for other functions, increasing overall system performance.
