Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for implementing a cryptography accelerator for performing operations such as hash operations. The cryptography accelerator recognizes characteristics associated with input data and retrieves an instruction set for processing the input data. The instruction set is used to configure or control components such as MD5 and SHA-1 hash cores, XOR components, memory, etc. By providing a cryptography accelerator with access to multiple instruction sets, a variety of hash operations can be performed in a configurable cryptographic accelerator.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for an entity such as a CPU to efficiently call a cryptography accelerator to perform cryptographic operations. A function call causes the cryptography accelerator to execute multiple cryptographic operations in a manner tailored for specific processing steps, such as steps during a handshake phase of a secured session. The techniques provide efficient use of hardware processing resources, data interfaces, and memory interfaces.

Abstract: The present invention discloses both a security safe able to be mounted in the corner of a room and a method of securing such a safe. The safe is formed from three planar panels which are substantially mutually orthogonal and from two walls and a base. A front extends between the walls and base and faces the corner formed by the intersection of the walls and base. The front includes an opening with a lockable door. The safe is installed with its corner nestled into the corner of a room and a corresponding fastener is passed from the interior of the safe through each of the three safe panels into the walls and floor of the room.
