Mocana Announces Embedded IPsec/IKE Solution That Fully Supports Hardware Acceleration

MENLO PARK, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Dec. 15, 2004 -- Embedded Security Suite Now Includes Small Footprint, High Performance Embedded IPsec/IKE Solution for Voice, Video and Data Networks

Mocana Corporation, developer of low-latency security solutions for voice, video and data networks, today announced general availability of Embedded IPsec/IKE, a small footprint, high performance solution to securing networked devices that fully leverages hardware acceleration. Embedded IPsec/IKE is part of the Mocana Embedded Security Suite. Free evaluation software downloads are available at http://www.mocana.com/evaluate.html.

"Mocana's Embedded IPsec/IKE satisfies a large, unaddressed market need. Like the rest of our Embedded Security Suite, we built this solution in response to customers who told us that existing products were difficult to integrate and use, lacked in performance and didn't give them the flexibility to secure network devices with varying levels of memory capacity," said Adrian Turner, Mocana Chief Executive Officer.

As the market continues to demand higher levels of security, manufacturers and service providers need a trusted security solution that can be easily integrated into networked devices and embedded applications while ensuring speed and scalability.

Most existing IPsec products are based on open source code and are synchronous. Mocana's Embedded IPsec/IKE implementation is unique, in that it delivers a much smaller footprint and an asynchronous architecture that speeds communication and cuts latency. The result is that Mocana's product can fully leverage hardware acceleration.

"Mocana's ease of use, scalability and small footprint is becoming increasingly important to deliver the performance that today's global VoIP market demands," said Prabh Deep Singh, Vice President of R&D at Navtel Communications. "We were already a Mocana customer, and continue to be impressed by the quality of their solutions and support. Implementing their IPsec solution was an easy choice."

Mocana Embedded IPsec/IKE

Mocana Embedded IPsec/IKE implements a secure network layer that provides data integrity, origin authentication, data confidentiality, access control, partial sequence integrity and traffic flow confidentiality services to secure communications between any two networks or hosts. The Mocana solution is uniquely architected with an asynchronous core to fully leverage hardware acceleration. Key benefits include:

Enterprise-grade security without compromising device functionality

-- IKE included

-- Automatic key negotiation

-- Major cryptographic algorithms supported

-- Extremely low IPsec memory footprint (approximately 60KB)

-- Can share crypto library with other components of Mocana Embedded Security Suite

-- Minimized CPU utilization; completely CPU and platform architecture independent

-- Ability to fully leverage hardware acceleration

Easy-to-install and use

-- Simple and easy-to-use API

-- All cryptography complexity is hidden -- no deep domain knowledge is needed

Speeds development cycle

-- Complete, tested solution frees in-house development to focus on more strategic projects

Ongoing development, maintenance and support

-- Full documentation, support, training, upgrades, ongoing maintenance, customized development and porting

In addition to Embedded IPsec/IKE, Mocana offers Embedded SSL/TLS Server, Embedded SSL/TLS Client and Embedded SSH Server, available separately or as a package that forms the Embedded Security Suite. All of Mocana's products are standards-based, with an asynchronous core, and developed with ease-of-use and performance in mind. Each product is developed from the ground up for embedded systems and includes comprehensive support and maintenance.

Availability

Mocana Embedded IPsec/IKE alone, or as part of the Embedded Security Suite, is generally available. Additional product information and a link to request an evaluation version of the software can be found at http://www.mocana.com/ipsec.html.
