Embedded
802.11 Supplicant For Constrained Environments Is The Latest
In The Company's Line of Security Products
FREMONT, Calif.— September 28, 2006 –- TeamF1,
Inc. (www.TeamF1.com),
the leader in embedded security, continues a long tradition
of bringing enterprise-level security to embedded devices
with today’s release of its latest offering:
SecureAire Supplicant, a
complete, secure 802.11 supplicant software solution for
wireless LAN (WLAN) client devices. It is one of the
industry's first middleware products specifically designed
from the ground-up to seamlessly offer secure WLAN access to
traditionally wired devices such as medical equipment,
printers, projectors, phone handsets and other networked
embedded devices.
Putting TeamF1's FIPS-certified cryptographic and
authentication frameworks to use,
SecureAire Supplicant
integrates the latest wireless security technologies with an
802.11 stack and flexible driver framework that works with a
variety of 802.11 WLAN devices.
SecureAire Supplicant
allows the embedded developer to leverage the benefits of
wireless connectivity without the security problems that are
commonly associated with the difficult-to-protect airwaves.
“Since anyone within range of wireless networks can
intercept information traveling through the air, security
efforts for wireless networks cannot be concentrated at the
boundaries,” said TeamF1 President Mukesh Lulla. “SecureAire
Supplicant solves this problem by providing a wireless
supplicant in an easy to use package, with the latest
security technologies built right into the device at the
protocol layer.”
SecureAire Supplicant
is equipped with advanced features such as its concurrent
support for different generations of 802.11 security
technology, from WEP through WPA, up to WPA2 / 802.11i, in
either Personal (Pre-shared Key) or Enterprise (802.1X)
mode. When using Enterprise (802.1X) mode, it supports all
popular EAP methods (MD5, TLS, TTLS and PEAP) and includes a
framework to add new ones as they are standardized.
SecureAire Supplicant
also includes device-friendly features such as an 802.11 MIB,
QoS control using 802.11e, and support for multiple radios
and SSIDs. Being a device-optimized software component, it
includes the ability to scale out unused modules and is
tailored for use in environments with stringent memory and
CPU “horsepower” limitations.
Availability SecureAire Supplicant is immediately
available with support for royalty-free source code
licensing directly from TeamF1 and through its channel
partners. It is available for a variety of embedded
operating systems including VxWorks®, embedded Linux®
distributions and others.
