†With Hifn’s™new security
platform you can fill in the blank
HSP helps shorten your design cycles in two ways –
it’s easier and faster than doing it yourself, and you
can recycle the hardware while keeping the
software. HSP is a unique collection of hardware
and software that provide a full security reference
solution for manufacturers of IPSec and SSL
networking products. Since it presents a uniform
software interface to host computers in routers and
other high performance networking equipment, HSP
allows manufacturers to quickly benefit from
advances in microprocessor performance without
lengthy redesign work.
Protocol support, 1,000,000
SAs, scalability
In addition to supporting most
widely used VPN and e-commerce
protocols, HSP features an easily
programmable asynchronous API
(Application Program Interface) to
make it easier to integrate into your
network access products. It supports
up to one million active security
associations, and it can be scaled
transparently through the use of
multiple processors.
FIPS Certification
HSP enacts a well defined security policy that can
help achieve FIPS 140-1 Level 3 certification
Evaluation and Development Kits
Kits include two PCI reference boards, device-micro-
code, HSP software binaries that operate on the
MIPS processor running on the reference board, a
driver and API binary that runs under the Windows
NT operating system, and documentation. There is
also Host Exerciser Software (HES) that provides
multiple test packets and scenarios that can be
processed by HSP. The development kit comes with
the source code for all HSP code components.
