Elliptic Extends Industry Leadership in NIST Validation

Elliptic Semiconductor announced today that its Ellipsys software has passed an important validation defined by the National Istitute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Ottowa, Canada (PRWEB) April 19, 2007 -- Security IP provider Elliptic today announced that its Ellipsys software has passed the Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Suite defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This validation comes two months after the certification of Elliptic hardware cores and further extends Elliptic's industry leadership in NIST validation of its products.

Ellipsys is divided into two different libraries which can be licensed separately or together as a bundle. The ESS-01 offers symmetric algorithms that are used in most modern cryptographic solutions including:
·   AES
·   DES/3DES
·   Kasumi
·   SEED
·   SHA-1 through SHA-512
·   MD5

Our customers have emphasized the need for NIST validation across the entire portfolio of products we offer.

By extending the NIST certification we received for our hardware cores to encompass Ellipsys software, we can offer our customers a complete solution that has been rigorously validated by an independent third party lab.
