Is it possible to offload modular exponentiation required in RSA and Diffie-Hellman to Hardware (Crypto Co-processor) that comes with Octeon II platform.
In some document, I have seen that Octeon II platform do support that. But, I am not getting how to do that. What macros to be used etc?
Can anyone please provide me with some pointer?
These look like proprietary functions to me. In that case you can these libraries in proprietary SDKs. In this case the OCTEON Development Kits page specifies:
Libraries: ‘C’ acceleration libraries for compression/decompression, pattern matching, encryption/decryption, Robust Header Compression
Generally encryption/decryption should be seen as a substitute for the word cryptography as most people don't know that encryption/decryption is just part of the crypto spectrum.
For more info, please contact Cavium.
