Comms processor takes security onboard
The RC32365 Interprise Access integrated communications processor features hardware-accelerated Internet protocol security
IDT has unveiled its new RC32365 Interprise Access integrated communications processor with hardware-accelerated Internet protocol security (IPSec). To address the need for greater security in the SOHO gateway and wireless markets, the new processor's on-chip security engine provides support for the latest security standards, including DES, 3DES and the advanced encryption standard (AES), and incorporates a true random number generator (RNG) to enable cryptographic applications.

The processor is compatible with a range of popular embedded operating systems, including VxWorks and Linux.
IDT provides security-specific software to support the RC32365 processor.
For customers wanting to port their own security stacks to the new device, a "crypto API" is offered that facilitates the integration of the customer's proprietary software with the RC32365 specific hardware drivers.
IDT also provides an integrated shareware security package, called FreeS/WAN, based on the Embedded Linux operating system.
Finally, IDT is working with Intoto, a leading third-party security software provider, to provide a complete, certified VPN/firewall solution for the RC32365 platform.
In addition, a suite of third-party MIPS software development tools is also available, including the MIPS GNU-based environment are available to reduce project design cycles and improve time to market.
The RC32365 is software compatible with the other members of the Interprise family, allowing customers to choose from a suite of proven off-the-shelf applications and tools, including Green Hills and Wind River.
