First complete Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) solution available

1 August 2001 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Altera has announced the programmable logic industry's first complete Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) solution, enhancing the ability of network equipment manufactures to speed up deployment of virtual private networks (VPNs) in routers, remote access concentrators, layer 3 and 4 switches, firewalls and other embedded applications. Altera's two new cores - Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1) and Message Digest Algorithm (MD5) - when combined with already existing NIST-certified data encryption standard (DES) and Triple-DES cores, provide a complete system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) solution for IPSec applications.

IPSec is a series of guidelines for the protection of Internet Protocol communications that specify ways for securing private information to be transmitted over public networks. Services supported by IPSec include confidentiality (encryption), authenticity (proof of sender), integrity (detection of data tampering), and replay protection (defence against unauthorised re-sending of data). Internet Key Exchange (IKE), the IPSec key management protocol, provides a series of steps that establishes keys for encrypting and decrypting information, defining a common language on which communications between two parties is based.
