Abstract: Methods and apparatus to perform string matching for network packet inspection are disclosed. In some embodiments there is a set of string matching slice circuits, each slice circuit of the set being configured to perform string matching steps in parallel with other slice circuits. Each slice circuit may include an input window storing some number of bytes of data from an input data steam. The input window of data may be padded if necessary, and then multiplied by a polynomial modulo an irreducible Galois-field polynomial to generate a hash index. A storage location of a memory corresponding to the hash index may be accessed to generate a slice-hit signal of a set of H slice-hit signals. The slice-hit signal may be provided to an AND-OR logic array where the set of H slice-hit signals is logically combined into a match result.

Abstract: Vector instructions for performing SNOW 3G wireless security operations are received and executed by the execution circuitry of a processor. The execution circuitry receives a first operand of the first instruction specifying a first vector register that stores a current state of a finite state machine (FSM). The execution circuitry also receives a second operand of the first instruction specifying a second vector register that stores data elements of a liner feedback shift register (LFSR) that are needed for updating the FSM. The execution circuitry executes the first instruction to produce a updated state of the FSM and an output of the FSM in a destination operand of the first instruction.
