26.2.1.1 Descriptors
The core processor maintains a record of current secure sessions and the corresponding keys and
contexts of those sessions. Once the core processor has determined that a security operation is
required, it creates a descriptor containing all the information the SEC needs to perform the
security operation. The core processor creates the descriptor in main memory, then writes a
pointer to the descriptor into the Fetch FIFO of one of the SEC channels. The channel uses this
pointer to read the descriptor into its descriptor buffer. Once it obtains the descriptor, the SEC
uses its bus mastering capability to obtain inputs and write results, thus off-loading data
movement and encryption operations from the core processor.
