Venafi welcomes news that hardware manufactures are embracing the concept of chip-level encryption, and the attendant reduction in transaction processing loads this brings. Where previous attempts to integrate encryption at the chip level have resulted in processor overheads, these latest moves are based on the concept of supporting hardware-based cryptographic acceleration for increased security without impacts to availability or business continuity.

As such the overall effect on the host processor will be negligible.”
