Hi,

Today you wont found anyone untouched with "Embedded Systems" be it a
case of simple digital wrist watch or a computer.
Almost each and every embedded developer is involved in a
communication some way be it either a communication between devices or
systems etc but very few are bothered about the confidentiality of
that information which is transmitted around the globe. They trust the
existing bodies for the information security but that is not the good
way.
There is a saying "Apna Haath Jagannath" which means that try to do
the work or a task by your own. This not only adds confidence to you
but also you will be able to deliver the quality work.
So for the sake of security we now have a specialized category of
processors which are dedicated for this work only.
Examples : Intel IXP425 , Intel IXP2400 etc
These range of processors have special hardware domain which carries
out this security feature ie cryptography.
In addition to that these processors are able to help out the various
techies to secure their network by having Embedded Firewall or Virtual
Private Network or Network Intrusion Detection System, Router,
Embedded Web Server etc.
Moreover these devices proved to be more efficient then x86 or PC
based systems.
These network processor based network tools give more performance then
PC based network tools.
