Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for handling data at a cryptography accelerator output interface. A shared resource such as a shared output buffer is provided at the cryptography accelerator output interface having multiple output ports. The output interface shared resource can be allocated amongst the various output ports based on characteristics and requirements of the various input ports. References to data in the shared resource allow processing and ordering of data following processing by cryptographic processing cores.
