Abstract
Embodiments herein describe offloading encryption activities to a network interface controller/card (NIC) (e.g., a SmartNIC) which frees up server compute resources to focus on executing customer applications. In one embodiment, the smart NIC includes a system on a chip (SoC) implemented on an integrated circuit (IC) that includes an embedded processor. Instead of executing a transport layer security (TLS) stack entirely in the embedded processor, the embodiments herein offload certain TLS tasks to a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) accelerator such as generating public-private key pairs.
