AM5KE02/04 VPN Support?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM5K2E02

Hello,

 

Does the security-accelator engine support VPN encryption? If so, than which features specifically (listed below) are required? If anyone has the specifics on this I would really appreciate it.

The features listed in the documentation for AM5K2E02/E04 are provided below for your reference:

› IPSec, SRTP, 3GPP and WiMAX Air Interface, and SSL/TLS Security

› ECB, CBC, CTR, F8, A5/3, CCM, GCM, HMAC, CMAC, GMAC, AES, DES, 3DES, Kasumi, SNOW 3G, SHA-1, SHA-2 (256-bit Hash), MD5

› Up To 6.4 Gbps IPSec and 3 Gbps Air Ciphering

 

Thanks,

Sean

    Sean,

    The VPN is a very big suite, it may includes IPsec, SSL/TLS, DTLS, MPPE, SSTP ... etc. Normally, these stacks are provided by software, and only computationally intensive tasks (authentication, encryption/decryption) are offloaded to dedicated HW, e,g. our Security Accelerator (SA), as we support IPSec and SSL/TLS as seen in the chip datasheet:

    › IPSec, SRTP, 3GPP and WiMAX Air Interface, and SSL/TLS Security

    › ECB, CBC, CTR, F8, A5/3, CCM, GCM, HMAC, CMAC, GMAC, AES, DES, 3DES, Kasumi, SNOW 3G, SHA-1, SHA-2 (256-bit Hash), MD5

    › Up To 6.4 Gbps IPSec and 3 Gbps Air Ciphering

    So, for a simple answer, yes, our SA supports VPN, but we don't expect the full VPN offloaded to SA.
