Hifn and Interphase Team on Network Security Acceleration

Hifn and Interphase announced a formal partnership to provide joint hardware security accelerator boards to network equipment manufacturers. The solutions accelerate basic security algorithms including DES, 3DES, MD5, SHA-1, RC4 and AES. The companies said recent performance testing on the Interphase security acceleration cards demonstrated a three times system improvement on TCP throughput rates and a 63% decrease in host CPU utilization when IPsec protocols are accelerated on a Linux platform using the FreeS/WAN IPsec stack software.
