### Q: What is a cryptographic engine in computer hardware?
**A**: A cryptographic engine is a specialized hardware component integrated into security processors that performs cryptographic operations like encryption, decryption, and digital signatures at high speeds with dedicated silicon circuits.

### Q: What are the main components of a cryptographic engine?
**A**: The main components include the crypto core (for algorithm execution), key storage (secure memory for cryptographic keys), and data interface (for communication with the host processor and system).

### Q: Why use hardware cryptographic engines instead of software?
**A**: Hardware cryptographic engines provide faster performance, lower power consumption, enhanced security against software attacks, and dedicated tamper-resistant features compared to software-based cryptography.
