Eideticom Cryptographic Accelerator
Eideticom’s Cryptographic Accelerator, part of their NoLoad® platform, is designed to offload and accelerate cryptographic operations in data center applications. It supports both classical algorithms like Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and RSA, as well as post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms such as Module Lattice-Based Key Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM) and Module Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm (ML-DSA). This ensures future-proof security by adapting to evolving encryption standards.
By offloading compute-intensive cryptographic tasks from the host CPU, the accelerator significantly reduces CPU usage—by up to 99%—and lowers power consumption by approximately 43%. This leads to enhanced system performance and energy efficiency.
The Cryptographic Accelerator integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructures, offering support for TLS 1.3 and providing secure key management features, including secure key import, export, and rotation. Its crypto-agility allows for effortless adaptation to emerging cryptographic standards, ensuring long-term protection against evolving security threats.
The integration of Eideticom’s Cryptographic Accelerator with Napatech’s SmartNICs and IPUs delivers a high-performance, energy-efficient, and flexible solution for handling cryptographic workloads in modern data centers.
Enhanced Performance and Efficiency
Napatech’s SmartNICs and IPUs are designed to offload compute-intensive tasks from the host CPU, thereby improving overall system performance and reducing CPU utilization. By deploying Eideticom’s Cryptographic Accelerator on these SmartNICs and IPUs, cryptographic operations such as encryption and decryption can be offloaded and accelerated, leading to significant performance improvements. For example, Napatech’s FPGA-based SmartNICs and IPUs have demonstrated the ability to offload CPU-intensive data processing tasks, resulting in optimized server utilization and improved overall performance.
Reduced Power Consumption
Offloading cryptographic workloads to hardware accelerators like Eideticom’s solution running on Napatech’s SmartNICs and IPUs can lead to substantial power savings. By reducing the reliance on the host CPU for these tasks, overall energy consumption is lowered, contributing to a more energy-efficient data center operation.
Flexibility and Future-Proofing
Napatech’s SmartNICs and IPUs are based on FPGA technology, which allows for reconfigurability and adaptability to evolving workloads and standards. Integrating Eideticom’s Cryptographic Accelerator leverages this flexibility, enabling support for both classical and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. This ensures that the cryptographic infrastructure remains robust and adaptable to future security requirements.
Optimized Resource Utilization
By combining the capabilities of Eideticom’s Cryptographic Accelerator with Napatech’s SmartNICs and IPUs, organizations can achieve optimized resource utilization. The offloading of cryptographic tasks frees up CPU resources for other critical applications, enhancing the overall efficiency and throughput of data center operations. This integration also simplifies the deployment of cryptographic services, reducing the complexity associated with managing separate hardware components.
USE CASE
Cryptographic Accelerator for Content Delivery Networks
Eideticom’s Cryptographic Accelerator is ideal for content delivery networks (CDN) because of its efficient algorithm offload and secure key management. Since most CDNs deploy in potentially hostile environments, Eideticom’s ephemeral key management provides a secure method for key generation, deletion, and rotation.
