ABSTRACT:
Cryptographic operations are performed on data packets received by an electronic system. To improve system performance, incoming packets are associated with a security association and offloaded to dedicated crypto functions, such as Inline Receive or other available, alternative crypto-processing functions. In one embodiment, when Inline Receive is busy or is otherwise unavailable, a most efficient crypto function from alternative processing functions is selected as a function of the security-associated packets to perform crypto operations on an offloaded packet. Various methods, systems, apparatus, and articles comprising a machine-readable medium are also described.
