Athena Showcases Security Technology at MILCOM 2013

GAINESVILLE, FL.- November 15, 2013 - The Athena Group, Inc., the leader in high-performance public key and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) for over a decade, today announced they will present security solutions for Altera devices at MILCOM, November 18-20 in the San Diego Convention Center, booth #615. Athena will showcase their spectrum of solutions for Altera's Cyclone, Arria, and Stratix families of programmable devices.

“Athena has continued to advance the state-of-the-art in security processing with advanced technology for mil-aero applications, which require very strong security,” said Dr. Jon Mellott, CTO of Athena. “With solutions spanning nearly two orders of magnitude in performance and with true programmable flexibility proven on various Altera programmable logic device families, Athena delivers the technology next-generation systems require.”

“Altera devices are engineered to satisfy the most stringent requirements for military and aerospace applications, including secure communications, cyber security and guidance and control, among others,” said Dwayne Snyder, senior customer marketing manager, Military, Aerospace, and Government Product Line at Altera. “Athena’s security intellectual property cores are a natural complement to Altera’s suite of programmable logic solutions, enabling Altera's customers to quickly realize complex security implementations.”

Athena will feature security solutions for defense in depth, including their flagship cryptography microprocessor line, inline memory encryption, DPA countermeasures, ultra high-performance ECC, true random number generation, and more.

Athena will also be available to meet one-on-one to discuss your unique security requirements and how we can configure a solution. Please contact Athena to schedule your private meeting.
