Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Hardware Acceleration

This feature is new in the Solaris 9 4/03 release.

Public key operations in IKE can be accelerated by a Sun Crypto Accelerator 1000 card. The operations are offloaded to the card. The offloading accelerates encryption and reduces demands on operating system resources.

For information about IKE, see the IPsec and IKE Administration Guide.
