Can P4080/P5020 processors have embedded cryptographic functions?

Hi, I want to accelerate the throughput of crypto material in my project where I use NXP's P4080/P5020 processors.  Is there a way to add hardware (or firmware) support to these processors for known cryptographic functions, such AES or SHA?  If not, is there a recommended coprocessor to be attached to these processors?

Thanks!

Have a great day,

There are P4080/P5020 processors which have internal security engine (SEC). The SEC provides hardware support for the AES and SHA. Part numbering has symbol “E” to show that processor has SEC. For example P5020NSE1MMB has SEC while P5020NSN1MMB does not have SEC. The same P4080NSE1MMB has SEC while P4080NSN1MMB does not. Part numbering nomenclature details you can find in the processor datasheets.
