Freescale Semiconductor has introduced C29x family of crypto coprocessors which will enable the data centres to rise to handle remarkable increases in secure network traffic in this fast growing data centre market.
The new C29x crypto coprocessors are multi-chipped with single PCI-E card solutions which provide 120K RSA 2048 operations/second .Freescale’s C29x family offers scalability in both power and performance. The family is designed to accelerate RSA (up to 4k key sizes), Diffie Hellman, and Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) algorithms, and integrates up to 10 Gbs of bulk encryption. C29x crypto coprocessors consume minimal power for thermally constrained designs. The products can be used in single- or multi- chip PCI-E end point card configurations, or can operate as standalone processors.
Tareq Bustami, Vice President, Product Management, Freescale’s Digital Networking group said, “Internet traffic security requirements are increasingly stringent and complex, yet the security coprocessor market is currently served by very few vendors. Customers are asking us for high-performance, cost- and power-efficient choices for coprocessors. Freescale has leveraged its communications processor leadership and 30 years of embedded security R&D investment to develop the new C29x crypto coprocessors, which offer the security and scalability data centers need to handle tremendous increases in data volume.”
Freescale will demonstrate the C29x technology in San Francisco at the RSA2013 event and will also discuss applications and features of the C29x family at the Linley Tech Data Center Conference planned for February 5 & 6 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Santa Clara, California .
The C29x crypto coprocessors will be available in the market at a price lower than $99(USD).
