Jetstream Algorithms become NIST Certified and are now FIPS 140-2 Ready

NIST certifies Jetstream's cryptographic IP cores

Naperville, Illinois, June 14, 2007 – Security silicon IP provider Jetstream Media Technologies announced today that the algorithms of its security IP cores have successfully passed the Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP), a strict governmental testing program for the validation of semiconductor algorithms.

The Federal Information Processing Standard’s (FIPS) testing standards were established by the United States National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) to make sure that products acquired by federal agencies meet rigorous cryptographic standards. The CAVP is a prerequisite to the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), which is governed by the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2. Products that are FIPS 140-2 validated are eligible to be purchased by the U.S. government and its agencies.

The following is a list of Jetstream Media Technologies validated IP cores. For additional validation information consult the NIST website http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/aes/aesval.html .

JetAES – Tiny Core – 8-bit datapath
JetAES – Mini Core – 16-bit datapath
JetAES – Standard Core – 32-bit datapath
JetAES – Fast Core – 128-bit datapath
JetAES – Ultra Fast Core - 128-bit pipelined datapath
JetDES – Triple DES
JetCCM – CCM 1 – For IEEE 802.11i WPA2 security
JetCCM – CCM 4 – For IEEE 802.15.4-2006 and ZigBee™ security
JetCCM – CCM 7 – High Speed AES-CCM for IPsec security payload
JetHASH – Secure hashing for SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA 384, and SHA-512

Jetstream’s security IP family also includes additional AES/CCM cores, AES/GCM cores, XTS-AES cores, multi-mode cores, a Configurable Secure Hashing core supporting all SHA and MD5, and a PKC accelerator for RSA™. Jetstream will continue its certification process for additional IP cores.

The wide variety of security IP core products offered by Jetstream Media Technologies enables manufacturers to choose the IP core that best suites their application needs. The quality of Jetstream’s products can be now further guaranteed through the NIST certification.
