Broadcom Introduces 500 Mbps IPsec Processor Card

Broadcom introduced a PCI-based IPsec processor card designed specifically for Check Point Software Technologies. The security board provides up to 500 Mbps of IPsec performance for 3DES and HMAC-SHA-1 applications. It supports bulk cryptographic functions such as DES, 3DES and ARC4 symmetric encryption algorithms, and HMAC-SHA-1 and HMAC-MD5 authentication algorithms. The new security card also features concurrent public key acceleration and symmetric key processing, a true random number generator, a PCI interface and requires no external memory on board. Target applications include VPN appliances, edge and enterprise routers, and servers.
