Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed to improve performance of a communications device receiving encrypted communications from multiple sources. The communications device is configured to increase the amount of decryption performed using a hardware-based process as compared to a software-based process by reprogramming the hardware to store a shared security key corresponding to a frame received from a source, allowing the hardware-based process to decrypt subsequent frames from that source.
