Claim 11:
12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the processor instructions for allocating another one of the R cryptographic resources to the one of the N sessions comprises processor instructions for:
determining if one of the R cryptographic resources is in the running state;
if one of the R cryptographic resources is in the running state and not sharable by the requesting session, allocating the one of the R cryptographic resources in the running state to the requesting session;
if none of the R cryptographic resources is in the running state:
determining if one of the R cryptographic resources is in the idle state;
if the one of the R cryptographic resources is in the idle state, allocating that one of the R cryptographic resources in the idle state to the requesting session; and
if none of the R cryptographic resources is in the idle state, allocating one of the R cryptographic resources in the dirty state to the requesting session.
