FAR-REACHING CONTRACT GIVES HP BROAD ACCESS TO RSA SECURITY ENCRYPTION TECHNOLOGY.Master Licensing Agreement Will Speed Development Of HP e-Commerce Product Family Encryption specialist RSA Security RSA, The Security Division of EMC Corporation, is headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts, and maintains offices in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Singapore, India, and Japan. RSA organizes the annual RSA conference. Inc. of Bedford, Mass., has forged a licensing agreement with Hewlett-Packard Co. that gives all HP divisions broad access to RSA (1) (Rural Service Area) See MSA. (2) (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) A highly secure cryptography method by RSA Security, Inc., Bedford, MA (www.rsa.com), a division of EMC Corporation since 2006. It uses a two-part key. Security's entire family of popular data encryption data encryption, the process of scrambling stored or transmitted information so that it is unintelligible until it is unscrambled by the intended recipient. Historically, data encryption has been used primarily to protect diplomatic and military secrets from foreign technologies and products. The wide-ranging contract enables all HP divisions to streamline the process of bringing their e-commerce and other Internet-related products to market by making it faster and easier for them to license RSA Security's products. The new master licensing arrangement strengthens and expands the ties between the two companies, broadening HP's original license with RSA and speeding the development process for all HP e-commerce products. The deal effectively provides HP with a single source for its core security technology across its product lines, helping to ensure interoperability among its platforms, ranging from PCs to servers, to back-end systems. "Security is a prerequisite for e-services, and we are pleased to be working with RSA because they are the leaders in public-key cryptography public-key cryptography - public-key encryption ," says Roberto Medrano, general manager of HP's 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. Div. "The global availability of RSA Security's strong encryption An encryption method that uses a very large number as its cryptographic key. The larger the key, the longer it takes to unlawfully break the code. Today, 256 bits is considered strong encryption. As computers become faster, the length of the key must be increased. fits well with HP's global presence, enabling us to build one version of our products to serve all our customers around the world." Adds Scott Schnell, senior vice president of marketing for RSA, "[Our] core public-key technologies can help HP deliver secure solutions as the company pursues a variety of e-commerce opportunities." Under the deal, several HP business units have already licensed millions of dollars worth of RSA Security products, including: RSA BSAFE SSL-J for HP Verifone's Internet-based electronic payment solutions; RSA BSAFE SSL-C for HP's secure remote management software products; and RSA BSAFE Crypto-C and RSA BCERT for HP's IPsec/9000 product. |
