Silex Insight’s TLS handshake hardware accelerator is a secure connection engine. It offloads all compute intensive cryptographic calculations needed for the connection handshake, i.e., the authentication through asymmetric cryptography and the exchange of keys. It implements the standards TLS 1.2 and 1.3, the latest and most secure TLS version. It combines a load dispatcher and a configurable number of instances of the company’s Public Key Crypto Engine, supporting amongst others: RSA/DH/DHE and ECDSA/ECDH/ECDHE/X.25519/X.448. The efficient dispatching to a swarm of crypto instances allows for a maximum efficiency in terms of system performance and energy usage.
