Gordon & Intel Investors - More On Intel's Network Encryption Device and Plans. Paul {=========================} Intel rolls encryption processor, forms IPsec alliance By Loring Wirbel, EE Times Sep 15, 1999 (2:46 PM) URL: eetimes.com ATLANTA — Intel Corp. launched a dedicated Data Encryption Standard (DES) local-area network-oriented security processor on Tuesday (Sept. 14) as part of its initiative at NetWorld+Interop to work with a variety of vendors to support the emerging Internet Protocol Secure (IPsec) standard. Intel's product launch and alliance with Compaq Computer Corp., Entrust Technologies Inc., IBM Corp. and Microsoft Corp. came a day after Chrysalis-ITS announced its first efforts to develop programmable encryption silicon. Chrysalis also formed a Network Security Processor Alliance with several vendors. Intel is moving to a third generation of 10/100 Fast Ethernet controller, the 82559C, which has been updated with a direct interface to the new 82594 ED Network Encryption Co-processor. The latter device is designed as both a DES and Triple-DES encryptor for file encryption, as well as an authentication device using MDA5 and Secure Hash Algorithm codes. When asked about the new breed of programmable encryptors that support both DES and public-key codes, Greg Lang, vice president and general manager of Intel's Network Interface Division, said that the goal of Intel's new two-chip offering is to target a solution that would be cost-effective to implement on most network interface cards. Programmable processors priced at several hundred dollars each would not be appropriate for local-area network (LAN) duty, Lang said. N+I proved an important showcase for other companies' network security alliances as well. Security Dynamics Inc. (Bedford, Mass.) and its subsidiary, RSA Data Security Inc., launched a combined company under the new name of RSA Security Inc. The company won new support from key partners such as CheckPoint Software Inc., Novell Inc. and Sun Microsystems Inc. RSA beefed up its Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) product suite with an expanded Keon product portfolio, and announced a three-pronged Secured Partners Program, focusing on Keon, the authentication products called SecurID and the encryption suite called BSafe. At the Intel security launch, the focus was on IPsec as a primary standard moving forward. Microsoft often has let IPsec take a back seat to Layer 2 tunneling protocol, but Ron Cully, lead product manager for Windows networking, made clear that Windows 2000 will use IPsec features in almost every environment. IPsec transport-layer services will be used for campus and LAN solutions, Cully said. In branch-office security, Microsoft will recommend point-to-point tunneling protocol for a low-cost solution, and L2TP over IPsec or native IPsec tunneling for advanced security. Entrust, the Canadian affiliate of Nortel Networks, which is a leader in secure-certificate and PKI technology, will play a key role with Intel in the future in LAN client security solutions. Nigel Johnson, vice president of partner marketing at Entrust, said that Intel and Entrust had signed a memorandum of understanding for IPsec, covering tests for product interoperability, future joint-technology development and joint marketing. Meanwhile, Intel has further fine-tuned its communication IC business. The Jato Technologies group in Austin, Texas, a company acquired by Level One Communications that is working on fast and gigabit Ethernet media access controllers (MACs), has been moved directly under Lang's Network Interface Division. Mark Christensen, vice president and general manager of the Network Communications Group at Intel, said that all gigabit MAC work has been unified under Intel directly, with many developers remaining in Austin. The MAC controllers are one of the few devices that will retain the Intel label, while the mixed-signal and network-processor devices will carry the Level One brand.
