VPN Acceleration Using Reconfigurable System-On-Chip Technology

Abstract

This paper presents a network architecture that can be implemented on a reconfigurable System-on-Chip (rSoC) that will accelerate the operation of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). With a small and efficient 3DES-CBC core coupled the flexibility of the rSoC and a network architecture that can scale as needed, this can be an effective solution to the current real world requirement for a flexible and affordable VPN platform.
