A data radio has an arbitrary number of processors configured to interact with a single cryptographic engine or security module. Hardware strapping allows each card and processor to identify its location in a system. The static region of the field-programmable gate array contains the functionality to manage access to the backplane. Dynamic regions of the field-programmable gate array fabric are used to route the data correctly to and from the security module within a specific application. Software is deployed on any card with a generic load that is agnostic to its location and the hardware self-configures.
