Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product for processing a data record including encrypted and decrypted data is described. Various embodiments include receiving a data record including ciphertext and plaintext blocks and determining whether each block in the data record is a ciphertext block or a plaintext block. If a block is a ciphertext block, the ciphertext block is stored into a ciphertext record, decrypted into a plaintext block utilizing a decryption algorithm, and stored in a plaintext record. If the block is a plaintext block, the plaintext block is stored into the plaintext record, encrypted into a ciphertext block utilizing an encryption algorithm, and stored in the ciphertext record. Embodiments described also include authenticating the data record by passing each block of the ciphertext record to an authentication scheme and outputting the plaintext record to a destination application.

Abstract: Apparatus including a first interface to a host processor, a second interface to transmit and receive data packets having headers and payloads, to and from a packet communication network, a memory holding context information regarding a flow of the data and assigning serial numbers to the data packets in the flow, according to a session-layer protocol, and processing circuitry between the first and second interfaces and having acceleration logic, to decode the data records according to the session-layer protocol, using and updating the context information based on the serial numbers and the data records of the received packets, and processing circuitry writing the decoded data records through the first interface to a host memory. The acceleration logic, upon receiving in a given flow a data packet containing a serial number that is out of order, reconstructs the context information and applies that context information in decoding data records in subsequent data packets in the flow.

Abstract: Packet processing apparatus includes a first interface coupled to a host processor and a second interface configured to transmit and receive data packets to and from a packet communication network. A memory holds context information with respect to one or more flows of the data packets conveyed between the host processor and the network in accordance with a reliable transport protocol and with respect to encoding, in accordance with a session-layer protocol, of data records that are conveyed in the payloads of the data packets in the one or more flows. Processing circuitry, coupled between the first and second interfaces, transmits and receives the data packets and includes acceleration logic, which encodes and decodes the data records in accordance with the session-layer protocol using the context information while updating the context information in accordance with the serial numbers and the data records of the transmitted data packets.
