FREMONT,
Calif.— May 18, 2005 –- TeamF1,
Inc., the high-performance embedded networking and security
software company, today introduced
Air Secure Access Point (ASAP),
the industry's first middleware product specifically
designed to add secure wireless access-point functionality
to embedded devices. A comprehensive, secure, managed access
point solution, ASAP
sets a new standard by providing the ability to concurrently
support many different generations of 802.11 security
technology found in today's wireless networks -- from WEP
through WPA, up to WPA2/ 802.11i, in either Personal
(Pre-shared Key) or Enterprise (802.1X) modes.
New applications for wireless technologies in the embedded
space are fueling the demand for standardized middleware
running on popular device operating systems. However,
despite its enormous benefits and convenience, wireless
technology is traditionally perceived to be insecure and
vulnerable. With ASAP,
TeamF1 brings its proven expertise in embedded security to
the wireless arena. ASAP
builds on TeamF1's security frameworks widely adopted by
OEMs today as a part of TeamF1's popular embedded security
software family, to deliver a comprehensive package enabling
a whole new class of connected device applications.
"As untethered computing comes of age and devices unfettered
by wires span various embedded application domains beyond
standard LAN access for PCs, security is starting to take
center-stage", said Mukesh Lulla, President of TeamF1. “We
expect ASAP
to promote extensive adoption of wireless technologies in
embedded applications by increasing our customers’
confidence in wireless security. OEMs and ODMs can now rely
on a standards-based and integrated platform to harness the
benefits of embedded wireless functionality and leverage the
Wi-Fi® infrastructure that is becoming commonplace.”
ASAP
is a comprehensive solution for networked devices that
require secure access point functionality. It integrates the
latest wireless standards and security technologies with a
flexible driver framework and includes reference drivers
that work with a variety of 802.11 and Wi-Fi® devices.
ASAP's rich features are
exclusively designed for stringent embedded requirements,
and include the most-advanced wireless security protection
on the market including AES encryption and 802.11i.
ASAP
includes Krypto-Lite, TeamF1’s FIPS-certified common crypto
framework, along with a suite of encryption and integrity
components to secure and manage access point traffic.
Krypto-Lite also allows the seamless integration of other
optional security protocols developed by TeamF1 such as SSL/https,
SSH and IPsec/IKE to meet additional security requirements.
ASAP
is designed to run in embedded environments and has been
extensively validated on a variety of CPU architectures.
Optimized editions for VxWorks® and Linux® are available
with support for native OS network driver models, enhanced
memory management, and seamless integration with other OS
