Abstract
A method and system of processing a cryptographic packet includes receiving a first cryptographic packet in a host CPU. A first set of data required to execute the first cryptographic packet is identified. The first cryptographic packet and the required first set of data is transferred to a cryptographic co-processor. The first cryptographic packet is executed in the cryptographic co-processor. The host CPU is notified that the execution of the first cryptographic packet is complete. The executed first cryptographic packet is received in the host CPU.
