Abstract
A security association architecture system of the present invention facilitates network data transfer by providing an internal portion of a security association database that can be quickly accessed to obtain security associations as well as an external component that stores the complete security association database. As a result, at least some security associations for incoming received frames and outgoing transmitted frames can be obtained from the internal portion located on a network interface device without accessing system memory, a host computer, and the like in order to obtain the security associations to perform security processing.
