SafeNet Provides Complete Security Toolkit Optimized for AMCC Processors

SafeNet and AMCC have been working closely together to develop this combination of an excellent processor for network-attached devices and the industry leading software security platform. The result gives customers an immediate IPSec security solution, already integrated, documented, tested and benchmarked for the 440EPx and 440GRx processors.

The QuickSec toolkit has been optimized to seamlessly interoperate with the SafeNet- developed turbo security engines embedded in AMCC's 440EPx and 440GRx processors, resulting in excellent security system performance and unparalleled ease of integration. AMCC customers can visit http://www.safenet-inc.com/AMCC to download a free evaluation version of QuickSec and will receive special discounted rates when purchasing the toolkit.

"When a customer chooses these processors, it's because security is a priority," said Sam Fuller, vice president of marketing, AMCC. "The integration of QuickSec into our embedded processors will enable vendors of network-attached devices including multi-function printers, routers, and storage, to reassure customers that all data and communication between their devices is encrypted and therefore not susceptible to loss of privacy or integrity."

Also announced today is the next wave of secure SoCs from AMCC, the 405EX and 460EX. Both processors will feature SafeNet-developed turbo security engines to provide excellent security system performance.

"This joint solution demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing best-in-class security solutions for AMCC processors," said Bill Anderson, vice president, encryption products, SafeNet. "We are excited to expand our relationship with AMCC through the creation of an innovative road map of security IP and software products designed to set the standard for secure network communications" - SafeNet.
