Vitesse Achieves Federal FIPS Security Certification
CAMARILLO, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
Vitesse
Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: VTSS), a leading provider of
advanced IC solutions for Carrier, Enterprise and Internet
of Things (IoT) networks, announced that its SynchroPHY™
1 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and 10GE PHYs with Intellisec™
IEEE 802.1AE MACsec technology are the world's first
to achieve Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 197 256-bit
AES encryption certification.

FIPS 197 is a de facto benchmark encryption standard issued by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) which specifies
the approved cryptographic algorithm to protect electronic data. 256-bit
AES offers exponentially better data protection and is required by the
U.S. National Security Agency (News - Alert) for highly sensitive data. The FIPS
certification validates solutions correctly implementing the AES
algorithm, enabling OEMs to dramatically accelerate end product
qualification and entry into markets with stringent security
requirements, including military, government, secure industrial,
financial, and HIPAA-compliant IT infrastructure.
"AES 256-bit encryption is a highly secure, internationally recognized
data protection standard. FIPS 197 certification demonstrates that
Vitesse meets the rigorous security requirements needed to protect
critical network infrastructures," said Martin Nuss, CTO for Vitesse.
"Achieving this validation for our SynchroPHY family is another major
proof point of Vitesse's leadership in bringing low cost, scalable
security solutions to the Carrier, Enterprise and IoT markets."
Intellisec™ & VeriTime™: Industry's Only Secure 1588 Network Solution
Intellisec
is the industry's first technology to enable flow-based IEEE (News - Alert) 802.1AE
MACsec encryption end-to-end over any network, including multi-operator
and cloud-based networks, independent of the network's awareness of
security protocols. Other encryption technologies introduce variable
delays, making it impossible to deliver the accurate IEEE 1588v2 timing
required by TD-LTE, LTE-Advanced macro and small cell base stations and
Smart Grid utility networks. Intellisec is the only 'secure 1588'
solution available today, combining line-rate AES encryption with
Vitesse's VeriTime™
IEEE 1588v2 nanosecond accurate timing.
