Accelerated Encryption Processing -AEP- Demonstrates One of the World's Fastest Secure Web Servers; Applications From e-Commerce to e-Banking Now Realized With Increased Speed and Security.Business Editors/High Tech Writers Intel Developer Forum Intel Developer Forum (IDF), is a twice yearly gathering of technologists to discuss Intel products and products based around Intel products. The first IDF was in 1997. There is usually a Spring IDF and a Fall IDF. 2002 SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 2002 Accelerated Encryption Processing (AEP AEP - Application Environment Profile ), a leading provider of Internet data security products today demonstrated one of the world's fastest secure web server (1) A server on the Web that supports one or more of the major security protocols such as SSL, SHTTP and PCT. This means that order form data from your browser is encrypted before being sent (uploaded) to the Web site, making it extremely difficult for a third party to decipher . Taking advantage of the AEP 2000, today's demonstration offered 2000 SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) The leading security protocol on the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is widely used to do two things: to validate the identity of a Web site and to create an encrypted connection for sending credit card and other personal data. transactions per second In a very generic sense, the term Transactions Per Second refers to the number of atomic actions performed by certain entity per second. In a more restrictied view, the term is usually used by DBMS vendor and user community to refer to the number of database transactions performed on a single server. The demonstration took place at the Intel(R) Developer Forum being held in San Francisco, February 25th - February 28th. The demonstration takes advantage of the Intel(R) Performance Communication Appliance Reference Design and dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM), processors running at 2.20 GHz. The Intel Xeon processoris based on the new Intel(R) NetBurst(TM) micro-architecture, which is designed to deliver performance across applications and usages where end users can truly appreciate and experience that performance. These applications include encryption, website hosting, and multi-tasking environments. "Intel-based servers featuring AEP's technology not only enhance web commerce, but change the playing field. Many corporations and businesses are now able to truly capture the revenues associated with the highest level of speed and security," said Chris Fairclough, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. from AEP. "We are working closely with AEP to demonstrate just how fast and how secure Internet communication has become," said Richard Dracott, Director of Marketing for Intel's Enterprise Marketing Group. "This level of speed and security in a single server should be a catalyst to fuel the growth of applications ranging from electronic banking to e-commerce." AEP provides a range of hardware cryptographic accelerators for the Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) A framework for creating a secure method for exchanging information based on public key cryptography. The foundation of a PKI is the certificate authority (CA), which issues digital certificates that authenticate the identity of ), Virtual Private Network (VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. ) and Mobile markets globally. The Company develops integrated circuits that deliver industry leading processing speeds of more than 2,000 (1024-bit) SSL transactions per second. The innovative AEP1K(TM) ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. chip, which is dedicated to cryptographic processing, is central to this achievement. The recently announced AEP2000 was highly praised in a recent article of Network Computing. The article can be viewed by searching for AEP at http://www.networkcomputing.com . ABOUT ACCELERATED ENCRYPTION PROCESSING INC inc - /ink/ increment, i.e. increase by one. Especially used by assembly programmers, as many assembly languages have an "inc" mnemonic. Antonym: dec. .: Accelerated Encryption Processing is an international Company that develops, manufactures, and markets the fastest range of hardware cryptographic accelerators available for e-Security applications. Providing high-performance cryptographic sub-systems, the Company's family of products delivers industry leading speeds for the Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Virtual Private Networks (VPN) and mobile markets globally. AEP is an Intel(R) Capital portfolio company. AEP's core solution, the AEP SSL Accelerator(TM), enables faster processing of secure transactions and is designed to handle both current and future requirements. This solution fully off-loads all compute-intensive cryptographic functions from a server thus eliminating bottlenecks and maximizing potential e-business capacity. The AEP SSL Accelerator is an essential element of any high-performance secure web server. For more information visit http://www.aep-crypto.com .
