Abstract
In one embodiment, a crypto cloudlet is provided that includes a security wrapper to a virtual machine to guarantee secure Input/Output exchange between a client and one or more cryptographic adaptive services powered by a set of virtual CPUs through a single well defined channel, an adaptive service running in the virtual machine that identifies hardware resources necessary to satisfy a cryptographic demand or request, and an Ethernet interface communicatively coupled to the security wrapper providing network channel services for exchange of cryptographic data and commands. The security wrapper presents to the adaptive services the hardware accelerators exposed by the virtual machine. Other embodiments are disclosed.
