The reference architecture integrates Elliptic's embedded security module (ESM) and Impinj's AEON® multi-time programmable nonvolatile memory (NVM) core to counteract embedded system threats such as reverse chip engineering and cryptographic algorithm security breaches. http://www.ellipticsemi.com/news-releases-Jul122007.php Thu, 12 Jul 2007 09:00:00 EDT Jetway Security Micro, a leading security products company based in China, and Elliptic which was recently ranked as the fastest growing supplier of security semiconductor IP by Gartner Research, have signed a license agreement for Elliptic's asymmetric security engines. http://www.ellipticsemi.com/news-releases-May92007.php Tue, 15 May 2007 09:00:00 EDT 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 algorithms. 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.
