Britestream Introduces the BN1200X Digital Signings Solution.Britestream Boosts Digital Signings Performance for Linux Applications AUSTIN, Texas -- Britestream[TM] Networks, a leading provider of hardware-based data 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. technology, today announced the release of the BN1200X Digital Signings Solution for XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. and OpenSSL applications. In today's Service Oriented Architecture (SOA (1) (Start Of Authority) The first record in a DNS zone file. See DNS records. (2) (Service Oriented Architecture) The modularization of business functions for greater flexibility and reusability. ) and web services environments, digital signatures are increasingly used to authenticate and secure application-to-application messages. Processing this heavy signature load, however, can have negative impacts on the performance of these applications. Britestream's BN1200X solves this problem by delivering a high rate of transactions -- up to 10,000 operations per second -- that satisfies the most demanding SSL-enabled web applications. TeaLeaf[R] Technology, the leader in Customer Experience Management, uses Britestream's BN1200X in their CX-powered applications. "We evaluated several other hardware vendors' products before partnering with Britestream," said Robert Wenig, founder and CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. of TeaLeaf. "What won us over was the ease of integration with our platform, and the substantial performance Britestream offered. We believe customers who use TeaLeaf with Britestream will benefit from this partnership." The Britestream BN1200X removes traditional barriers and penalties to securing transmissions with its tamper-resistant, hardware-based solution that protects encryption keys and ensures fortified fortified (fôrt adj containing additives more potent than the principal ingredient. security. Since the Britestream BN1200X is OpenSSL-compliant, it offers instant plug-and-play acceleration for OpenSSL applications. The BN1200X is available today directly from Britestream.
