Abstract

A cryptographic controller (100) installs and manages a channel for processing data units. The cryptographic controller (100) performs background staging of programs, context, and data units for the programmable crypto engine (14) and configurable crypto engine (16). The cryptographic controller (100) is a secure, hardware operating system capable of managing high performance crypto processing on the order of 1500 million instructions per second (MIPS).
