KERNEL MODE ACCELERATOR

摘要

A system and method for disposing, in kernel space, a data plane having instructions operable to encrypt and transfer data over a network. The data plane is coupled to a control plane which resides in user space. The control plane has instructions operable to control the transfer of the encrypted data in kernel space. Certain embodiments include an application programming interface (API), which operates to expose a programming interface for encrypted communications which results in a more efficient data transfer because most of the data processing is done in kernel space.

主权项

1. A method including the following:
disposing, in kernel space, a data plane, said data plane including processor-readable instructions operable to encrypt and transfer data over a network; disposing, in user space, a control plane, said control plane including processor-readable instructions operable to control the transfer of the encrypted data; disposing, in user space, an application programming interface (API), said API operable to expose a programming interface for encrypted communications, wherein a substantial portion of the data transferred over the network is processed exclusively in the kernel space.
