A crypto accelerator is a specialized hardware coprocessor designed to offload SSL functions from a server's central processor. Its main purpose is to free up the central processor for other tasks while increasing the processing speed of SSL transactions. These accelerators are particularly useful in accelerating computationally intensive encryption algorithms for e-commerce applications.
