• Manufacturer Part Number: bcm5801
• Description: Cryptographic Processor
• Manufacturer: Broadcom Corp.

The BCM5801 cryptographic processor integrates a high-performance
IPSec engine (DES, 3DES, HMAC-SHA-1, HMAC-MD5), PCI
interface, and context buffer memory into a single chip. Ideally suited for
cost-sensitive client applications, the BCM5801 cryptographic processor
offers tremendous performance in a compact design. Offering hardware
acceleration for IPSec cryptographic functions makes the BCM5801 an
ideal solution for applications such as SOHO routers and gateways,
firewalls, VPN appliances, and network interface cards.
The BCM5801 provides complete 200-Mbps IPSec processing (3DES,
HMAC-SHA-1) performance in a highly integrated design. The
BCM5801 offers a unique combination of performance and cost-
optimization by integrating the necessary functional blocks into a single
chip.

The BCM5801 device’s PCI interface makes it a perfect solution for all
cost-sensitive security applications. Requiring no external components,
the BCM5801 is ideal for add-in card applications requiring IPSec
acceleration. A multi-threaded DMA engine utilizes system memory to
maximize throughput in real-world applications. Unlimited security
association (SA) support via system memory, and the ability to prefetch
packet contexts, minimize the performance degradation when processing
small packets.
Application program interface (API) support through Broadcom’s
Software Reference Library (SRL) for IPSec application software offers
BCM5801 users a complete system solution. Compatibility with
industry-standard SSH IPSec software eases integration and reduces
time to market.
