New SentryFlow(TM) ASP Enables Scalable, Cost-Effective, Simple
Implementations with Highest Degree of Interoperability LOS GATOS,
Calif., Dec. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hifn(TM) (NASDAQ:HIFN),
the catalyst behind storage and networking innovation, today
announced its newest member of the Sentry family of Applied
Services Processors (ASPs), SentryFlow 9150, that delivers a
complete security solution in a low power, easy-to-implement
package. Based on Hifn's unique FlowThrough(TM) architecture, the
SentryFlow 9150 enables interoperable security with support for
multi-protocols including Suite B algorithms such as Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), in
a package using 3W of power. (Logo:

designed a unique combination of features into the SentryFlow 9150
processor," said Bob Wheeler, industry analyst with The Linley
Group. "We haven't seen any competing products that match the
containment features of the 9150. And we have always recognized
Hifn's FlowThrough architecture as one of the more cost effective
security processors on the market. The combination of the new
features, enhanced performance and the FlowThrough architecture
makes the 9150 product one to watch." The SentryFlow 9150 ASP
offers easy integration of IPSec, IPcomp, SRTP, and MACSec. Using a
"bump in the wire" architecture, existing solutions can gain strong
security at ultra-low power, without re-design. The 9150's advanced
public key engine includes the industry's highest performance
implementation of ECC used for Suite B and traditional public key
algorithms. All aspects of key negotiation and security association
management are handled by the chip; the user only has to specify
the policies to be enforced. "Western Datacom has a history of
providing advanced security solutions, and by utilizing the 9150
with hardware-accelerated Suite B, we can deliver a must-have
capability for next generation security requirements," said Philip
Ardire, President and CEO of Western Datacom. "We selected Hifn's
9150 because it met the stringent security, performance, and power
requirements that we have for our products enabling us to maintain
low latency and power for key mobile applications." "The NSA
strongly advocates use of Suite B cryptographic algorithms for
national security applications and systems used by the US
Government," said Dick Schaeffer, Information Assurance Director at
the National Security Agency. "These algorithms have been evaluated
by the National Security Agency and are sufficient, when
implemented correctly, for protecting the nation's most sensitive
classified communications. The broad adoption of these algorithms
will enhance the security and interoperability of U.S. Government
communications systems." To achieve broad adoption, new security
solutions must interoperate, scale, provide multi-gigabit
performance within a 'green,' cost-effective, low power, easy to
integrate design. Customers can confidently add security at all
points of vulnerability in the network with the easy to integrate,
cost- effective SentryFlow 9150. The SentryFlow 9150 ASP delivers
advanced security features far beyond the requirements of the Suite
B standard. To achieve higher levels of system security, Hifn has
designed the SentryFlow family with unprecedented containment
features including tamper response circuitry. When a tamper attempt
is detected, the 9150's dedicated circuitry stops all cryptographic
operations, destroys all secrets and keys within the chip, and
zeroizes all memories that might contain secrets. "Hifn is now
delivering a proven third-generation product with the SentryFlow
family," said Russell Dietz, Vice President and Chief Technology
Officer at Hifn. "Pervasive security is a necessity today at all
points in the network but in order to achieve broad acceptance the
implementation needs to be simple, efficient and uncompromising. In
the design and development of the 9150 we looked at what our
customers were seeing with regards to next- generation security
requirements and we created a truly green, seamless and easy to
adopt security solution." About SentryFlow 9150 -- Consumes 3 watts
