Abstract
A generic multi-stage nested hash unit that provides support for generic, multi-stage nested hashes accelerates a wide range of security algorithms and protocols. The supported security algorithms and protocols include SSL v3 MAC, TLS PRF, and SSL v3 Key Material Generation. The hash unit allows the same code to be used to generate the MAC even when the MAC algorithms are different, for example, for SSL and TLS protocols.
