Content Protection Engine
AuthenTec’s Content Protection Engine is a dedicated HDCP hardware engine that protects keys and sensitive operations and accelerates encryption and decryption operations to enable protection of uncompressed and compressed, full HD content. SafeXcel EIP-115 works seamlessly with AuthenTec’s existing SafeXcel packet engines and SafeZone secure platform offerings. These hardware offerings enable chip makers to enhance their products to support the latest HDCP standards.
Security Protocol Engines
AuthenTec’s Security protocol Engines are packet Engines for accelerating cryptography functions and CPU-offload functions for applications like smart phones, femtocell access points, and secure home gateways. Ranging from the traditional look aside engines to the more sophisticated, powerful inline packet engines, AuthenTec’s Security protocol Engines offer acceleration of IPsec, MACsec, SSL/TLS/DTLS, sRTP and basic hash-crypto operations at target speeds ranging from 100Mbps to 10Gbps and beyond.
Platform Security Engines
AuthenTec’s platform Security Engines are IP cores that secure the customer’s platform, like the Trusted Module and Crypto Module, allowing such devices to securely generate, store and use sensitive data like cryptographic keys, digital identities, and sensitive stored data. Target applications for platform Security Engines include wireless and mobile applications, femtocell access points and home gateways.
Cryptography Engines
AuthenTec’s Cryptography Engines are standalone hardware IP cores for accelerating various symmetric, asymmetric ciphers , HASH and HMAC based integrity algorithms as well as true random number generators. SafeXcel IP cryptographic engines can be used for hardware acceleration, storage, WIMAX, 3G and Long Term Evolution (LTE), and PKI/PKA infrastructure.
