The MPC190 security processor is the second member of NXP® Semiconductors's S1 family of security processors. Derived from security technologies NXP (formerly Motorola, Inc., Semiconductor Products Sector) has developed over the last thirty years, the MPC190 is a
flexible, scalable and powerful addition to any networking or computing system supporting PCI. It is designed to off-load computationally intensive security functions from NXP host processors, integrated processors, and network processors, or from any processor through the
use of a PCI bridge chip. The MPC190 security processor is optimized to process all the algorithms associated with IPSec, IKE, WTLS/WAP and SSL/TLS, including RSA, RSA signature, Diffe-Hellman, Elliptic Curve
Cryptography, DES, 3DES, SHA-1, MD-4, MD-5, and ARC-4. Additionally, the MPC190 is the only security processor on the market (after the NXP MPC180) capable of accelerating Elliptic Curve mathematics, which is
especially important for secure wireless communications.
