Abstract: A method may include determining a first weight for a first type of operation and a second weight for a second type of operation. The first weight may correspond to a first quantity of the first type of operation a hardware resource is capable of performing during a time interval. The second weight may correspond to a second quantity of the second type of operation the hardware resource is capable of performing during the time interval. Utilization of the hardware resource may correspond to a weighted sum of the respective quantities of the first type of operation and the second type of operation offloaded to the hardware resource. Allocation of hardware resources may be adjusted based on utilization. Related systems and articles of manufacture are also provided.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for handling the processing of a next protocol negotiation extension for a transport layer security (TLS) session. A device, intermediary to a client and a server, may receive a client hello message from the client in a handshake to establish a transport layer security (TLS) session with the server. The client hello message may include a next protocol negotiation extension. The device may include a first TLS processor that is software based and a second TLS processor that is hardware based. The device may determine that the client hello message includes the next protocol negotiation extension. The device may establish, responsive to the determination, the TLS session using the first TLS processor. The device may process, upon establishment of the TLS session using the first TLS processor, encrypted data for the TLS session using the second TLS processor.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for distributed operation of a plurality of cryptographic cards in a multi-core system. In various embodiments, a plurality of cryptographic cards providing encryption/decryption resources are assigned to a plurality of packet processing engines in operation on a multi-core processing system. The packet processing engines can be configured to operate in user space of a system, and can access cryptographic resources via memory allocations mapped from kernel space to user space.
