SafeNet Security Technology Selected by PMC-Sierra for Highly Integrated System-on-Chip (SoC) Solution
"Our customers demand powerful security as an essential feature of high-performance microprocessor SoC solutions," said Martin Scott, vice president and general manager of PMC-Sierra's Microprocessor Products Division. "The integration of SafeNet's unique SafeXcel IP Packet Engine into PMC-Sierra's feature-rich MIPS-based(TM) processors allows our customers to build applications that meet today's demanding requirements for cost-effective security at high performance."
The security functionality in PMC-Sierra's MSP8520 processor is provided by SafeNet's SafeXcel IP Packet Engine--a highly integrated cryptographic accelerator for security algorithms and protocols such as Internet Protocol Security (IPsec), Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Transport Layer Security (TLS), and Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP). Designed for the unique needs of semiconductor manufacturers, the SafeXcel IP Packet Engine features outstanding versatility, ease of integration, and performance.
"With the trend toward integration of multiple security functions into a single chip, our silicon-proven security module is a perfect fit for PMC-Sierra's high performance MIPS-based processors," said Henk Pruim, vice president and general manager, SafeNet OEM Networking Division. "Together with SafeNet's QuickSec VPN software, the processors will provide OEMs with a complete security solution that is very cost effective and easy to integrate."
The MSP8520 is a highly integrated feature rich system-on-chip (SoC) incorporating PMC-Sierra's high performance E9000 microprocessor core and system interfaces targeted at networking, printer/imaging and storage applications.
