Apparatus and method for allocating resources within a security processing architecture using multiple groups

摘要

An apparatus is described comprising: a plurality of security processing resources for processing two or more different types of data traffic within a cryptographic processor; a first scheduler to provide a first type of data traffic to a first predefined subset of the security processing resources using a first scheduling technique; and a second scheduler to provide a second type of data traffic to a second predefined subset of the security processing resources using a second scheduling technique.
