BCM5805

Description

The BCM5805 Security Processor integrates a high-performance IPSec engine (DES, 3DES, HMAC-SHA-1, HMAC-MD5), public key processor, true random number generator, PCI interface and context buffer memory onto a single chip. The highly integrated BCM5805 Security Processor is an ideal solution for VPN-enabled networking products such as SOHO routers and gateways, VPN appliances, access concentrators and network interface cards.

The BCM5805's PCI interface makes it a perfect solution for all cost-sensitive security applications. Requiring no external components, the BCM5805 is ideal for add-in card applications requiring IPSec acceleration. Unlimited security association (SA) support via system memory and a multi-threaded DMA engine utilizes system memory to maximize throughput in real-world applications. The ability to pre-fetch packet contexts minimizes the performance degradation when processing small packets.
