Abstract
An apparatus may include a pipeline circuit configured to process packets and an authentication engine configured to authenticate packets and to provide an authentication signal to the pipeline circuit based on whether packets have been authenticated. The apparatus may further include a control circuit configured to route a given incoming packet to both the authentication engine and to a bypass path. The bypass path may be configured to provide a copy of the given incoming packet to the pipeline circuit to bypass the authentication engine.
