The SHA Engine is a dedicated hardware accelerator that calculates the hashing function (or the message digest) for given byte oriented data or message. The HASH-1010 supports both PIO and DMA mode of operation. The HASH-1010 implements the most widely used hashing algorithms SHA-1, SHA-2(256) and MD5 in a single IP core. The support for the multiple modes makes the SHA engine particularly suitable for implementation of internet security protocols, such as IPSec that requires multiple authentication algorithms. The input data is padded according the specific requirement of the hashing algorithm and endian-conversion is performed in the hardware.
