re: Discretix VLSI "CryptoCell" CryptoEngine for Ericsson handsets
>> Ericsson Beefs Up GPRS Security
The Israeli-based Discretix Technologies and Ericsson Mobile Platforms, the wholly owned subsidiary of Ericsson, have announced that Ericsson will implement CryptoCell, Discretix’ secure solution for mobile handsets, into its future GPRS and 3G mobile phone platforms.
The CryptoCell security solution is based on Discretix’ CryptoEngine technology that sits at the heart of a microprocessor chip. Discretix CryptoEngine is a VLSI (very large-scale integration)-based security solution, which enables secure Internet transaction access from mobile communication devices. The CryptoEngine consists of an IP Core, which integrates easily with the existing chips in wireless devices and supports all major cryptographic algorithms for encryption and data-hashing, security protocols (IPSec, SSL/TLS, and WTLS) and standards (WAP, MeT, IETF, Mobey). The CryptoEngine is based on a PKI engine that supports unlimited key length and complies with major cryptographic standards.
As Discretix uses algorithms within the silicon hardware, the solution eliminates the risks associated with viruses or hackers breaking into the system, thus delivering instant security protection. <<
