Corrent Chip Named Industry's Best Security Processor.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 2002 Corrent Corp. Monday received the Microprocessor Report Analysts' Choice Award for Best Security Processor of 2001 for the company's CR7020 security processor. The Analysts' Choice awards are given in nine categories to companies with the most interesting and innovative products in the industry. "This validates the effort of our team in bringing our first product in our line of gigabit-performance Internet security ''This article or section is being rewritten at Internet security is the process of protecting data and privacy of devices connected to internet from information robbery, hacking, malware infection and unwanted software. chips to market so quickly," said Richard Takahashi, president and chief executive officer of Corrent Corp. "In addition to our unique architecture, we've always believed that one of our key differentiators is that our experienced team can quickly execute and deliver quality products on time." "The most valuable security processors are those that are easiest to integrate into networking equipment and deliver the highest performance," said Peter Glaskowsky, a senior analyst with In-Stat/MDR. "Corrent's CR7020 leads the rest, combining gigabit throughput for private-key cryptography (cryptography) private-key cryptography - As opposed to public-key cryptography, a cryptographic method in which the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt the message. Private-key algorithms include the obsolescent Data Encryption Standard (DES), triple-DES (3DES), the Advanced with the fastest public-key acceleration available." Corrent was the first company in the industry to announce availability of gigabit-speed security silicon with the introduction of its Socket Armor(TM) family of processors. These devices deliver gigabit-speed security processors to accelerate 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. (e-commerce) and IPsec (virtual private networks, 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. ) transactions. They are used in load balancers, content switches, and servers to meet the demand of e-commerce Web sites as more Internet traffic Internet traffic is the flow of data around the Internet. It includes web traffic, which is the amount of that data that is related to the World Wide Web, along with the traffic from other major uses of the Internet, such as electronic mail and peer-to-peer networks. is secured. Corrent's first generation of product families also includes a unique line of Packet Armor(TM) processors for IPsec transmissions for VPNs. Both families of processors encrypt/decrypt data and send it securely across networks.

Corrent Corp.'s high-performance Internet security solutions secure private data within both public and private IP networks at gigabit speeds and beyond. Corrent's scalable, channelized Refers to an architecture that transmits data in channels. It often refers to the 64 Kbps channels in T1 lines, which were originally developed to handle digitized voice streams (TDM). See TDM. , high-performance architecture performs encryption The reversible transformation of data from the original (the plaintext) to a difficult-to-interpret format (the ciphertext) as a mechanism for protecting its confidentiality, integrity and sometimes its authenticity. Encryption uses an encryption algorithm and one or more encryption keys. at the fastest data rates in the industry -- doubling the performance of existing solutions. Advanced architectures and design techniques deliver a complete sub-system solution to designers of next-generation networks, while providing ease of integration and time-to-market advantages. Corrent's products are designed for use in networking infrastructure equipment such as routers, switches, Web servers, access concentrators See remote access concentrator. , and dedicated IP-services systems.
