Silicom has launched its new PE2SFC293, a Silicom protocol processor PCI-Express x4 security card based on the Freescale C293 Crypto CoProcessor.

The C293 Crypto Coprocessor family currently consists of 3 high performance crypto coprocessors optimized for public key operations. Public key algorithms such as RSA, Diffie Hellman and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) serve as the basis for the digital signature and key exchange protocols that make electronic commerce possible.

The C29x product line employs C291, 2 and 3 Crypto CoProcessors.

The C293 offers high-performance support for a wide range of protocols, such as IPSEC, SSL/TLS and IPsec bulk encryption.
