Abstract

Wireless communication apparatus (WAP) which comprises means of receiving data streams such as Access Stratum User Plane (AS UP), Access Stratum Control Plane (AS CP), and Non-Access Stratum Control Plane (NAS CP), each at least partly requiring a cryptographic processing operation, a cryptographic module comprising a cryptoprocessor, and management means configured to deliver at least some of the data streams to the crypto-processor according to an order of priority defined from the data types and cryptographic processing types assigned to each data stream.
