Abstract
In an embodiment, a processing system comprises a microprocessor programmable via software instructions, a memory controller configured to be coupled to a memory, a communication system coupling the microprocessors to the memory controller, a cryptographic co-processor and a first communication interface. The processing system also comprises first and second configurable DMA channels. In a first configuration, the first DMA channel is configured to transfer data from the memory to the cryptographic co-processor, and the second DMA channel is configured to transfer the encrypted data via two loops from the cryptographic co-processor to the first communication interface. In a second configuration, the second DMA channel is configured to transfer received data via two loops from the first communication interface to the cryptographic co-processor, and the first DMA channel is configured to transfer the decrypted data from the cryptographic co-processor to the memory.
