Spirent Releases Module for IPSec and SSL Testing

Spirent Communications released its SmartBits Security Module for IPSec and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) performance testing. The module uses specialized encryption hardware to support stress rates in the 100s of IPSec tunnels per second, and supports DES, 3DES, and AES encryption algorithms, and HMAC-MD-5 and HMAC-SHA-1 authentication algorithms. The module tracks results over multiple sessions, showing how high connection rates and large amounts of encrypted traffic can impact networks across sessions. The security module runs on Spirent’s SmartBits TeraMetrics XD platform and is driven by Spirent’s TeraVPN and Avalanche SmartBits software applications.
