Ellipsys 2.0 Software Released by Elliptic - features Support for Elliptic Curve Cryptography & RSA Security
Update: Synopsys Expands Security Solutions with Acquisition of Elliptic Technologies (June 29, 2015)
Ottawa, Canada, May 9, 2007 - Security IP provider Elliptic today announced that it has completed the 2.0 release of its Ellipsys security software. This release upgrades the algorithms implemented to include a complete set of asymmetric functions such as Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and RSA functions. Elliptic Curve Cryptography is being implemented by the U.S. Government as part of the Suite B standard and the cryptographic modernization program sponsored by the National Security Agency (NSA). ECC is also used in digital rights management and mobile handsets due to the high security it can offer at much smaller key sizes than the equivalent RSA algorithms.
Ellipsys is offered as two different products - the ESS-01 Symmetric Cryptography library and the ESS-02 Asymmetric Cryptography library. The ESS-02 asymmetric library now includes the following functions:
- Elliptic Curve Cryptography
- EC-DSA Generation and Verification
- EC Diffie-Hellman
- EC IES Encryption and Decryption
- Key Generation
- RSA Public Key Cryptography
- Key Generation
- Encryption and Decryption
- Signature and Verification
The ESS-01 symmetric library offers a comprehensive set of ciphers, modes and authentication algorithms such as:
- Ciphers
- AES
- DES/3DES
- Ksumi
- RC4
- Modes (supported by all ciphers)
- CBC
- CFB
- CTR
- GCM
- XTS
- Hashes
- MD5 and SHA-1 through SHA-512
- Message Authentication Algorithms (MACs)
- CMAC
- HAMC
- XCBC
"With the inclusion of ECC and RSA asymmetric algorithms, the library is now complete and can be used for solutions ranging from mobile handsets through to high-end, top secret applications in government and military applications." said Al Hawtin, VP of Marketing and Business Development. "Customers can also leverage Elliptic's team of software developers to augment internal teams and ensure that their demanding security applications meet the security requirements and are delivered on time and on budget."
