Security Leader Makes It Easier for OEMs To Meet Government
Security Requirements |
Fremont,
California, July 28, 2004 – TeamF1, Inc.
the high-performance embedded
networking and security software company, announced today
that it has received algorithm validation certificates from
the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
and Communications Security Establishment (CSE) in Canada.
Krypto-Lite, an implementation of Federal Information
Processing Standards (FIPS) conformant cryptographic
algorithms, is used in many of the company’s network
security and authentication products.
TeamF1's Krypto-Lite library is a FIPS 140-2 compliant,
standards-based, high performance and modular software
cryptographic algorithms library. It has been validated by
NIST through its NVLAP accredited Cryptographic Module
Testing laboratories as conforming to the specifications of
the following standards: |
|
 |
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, FIPS
197) |
|
|
Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES or
"Triple-DES", FIPS 46-3) |
|
|
Digital Signature Standard (DSA, FIPS
186-2). and |
|
|
Secure Hash Standard (SHA, FIPS 180-2). |
|
“Successful validation of our core
cryptographic library implementation is a very important
milestone for us” said TeamF1 President Mukesh Lulla. “We
are pleased to become one of the very few software vendors
in the embedded space to offer validated algorithm
implementations, which is a pre-requisite for FIPS 140-2
validation of a system -- a requirement for systems used by
federal agencies. This underscores our relentless commitment
to security standards and attests to the highest levels of
conformance of our network security & authentication
products.”
Krypto-Lite includes several symmetric and asymmetric
ciphers as well as cryptographic hash algorithm
implementations, and is specifically tailored for embedded
use and hardware acceleration. Certificate details for
