Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for decoupling a cryptography accelerator interface from cryptographic processing cores. A shared resource is provided at the cryptography accelerator interface having multiple input ports. References to data in the shared resource are provided to allow processing and ordering of data in preparation for processing by cryptographic processing cores without substantial numbers of separate buffers in the cryptographic processing data paths.
