| TeamF1 Announces Availability of
V-IPSecure – IPsec and IKE for MontaVista® Linux® |
| Leading
Embedded Security Provider Extends Reach to Embedded Linux
Market |
Fremont,
California, Jan. 6th, 2004 – TeamF1, Inc.
the leader in high performance and
low-resource embedded security solutions, today announced
immediate availability of its
V-IPSecure product for MontaVista Linux Professional and MontaVista Linux Carrier
Grade Editions.
V-IPSecure is a high-performance, robust and lean
implementation of IPsec and IKE protocols for IPv4 and IPv6.
V-IPSecure's implementation of these protocols provides a
high-quality cryptography-based communication channel setup
on embedded systems running Linux. Its end-to-end securing
of IP datagrams prevents access or modification of any
information from above the IP layer, when passing through
intermediate nodes in a public network, thus enabling secure
virtual private networks (VPN) to be carved out of a public
and/or insecure network.
"Network security for embedded Linux is becoming
increasingly important and TeamF1 is committed to providing
leading edge solutions in that field," said Vinai Kolli,
Vice President of Engineering and co-founder of TeamF1. "MontaVista
Linux’s real-time scheduling features and extensive support
for Linux Support Packages (LSPs) on a variety of hardware
platforms, combined with our standards-based, robust
implementation of IPsec and IKE, enable our mutual customers
to add superior IPv4 and IPv6 security to their embedded
devices."
"Internet connectivity is changing the face of embedded
systems, which must now emphasize security on a par with
other functionality," said Sheila Baker, vice president,
Marketing MontaVista Software. "Network equipment makers are
increasingly turning to embedded Linux, and demand
compatible security solutions such as solutions provided by
TeamF1. We are delighted to offer customers, joint solutions
with TeamF1."
Availability
V-IPSecure is the newest member of TeamF1’s
SSecure family
of products and is immediately available for royalty-free
licensing directly from TeamF1 and through its channel
partners.
