(NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :SFNT), setting the standard for information security, today announced a major upgrade of the industry-leading QuickSec IPSec 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. product line. Today's release of a pair of complementary security products QuickSec 4.0 Client Toolkit and QuickSec 4.0 Server Toolkit enables the large installed base of QuickSec OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and developers to add IKEv2 to the full range of enterprise security gateways, enterprise-class PBX (Private Branch eXchange) An inhouse telephone switching system that interconnects telephone extensions to each other as well as to the outside telephone network (PSTN). systems, desktop VPN clients, and mobile VPN platforms in use today. QuickSec is the most broadly used professional-quality security development toolkit for IPSec gateways, appliances, and software applications in the world, with advanced levels of protection, reliability, and performance mandated by OEM customers and industry standards. This major release of QuickSec 4.0 Client and Server Toolkits is the first simultaneous release by SafeNet of compatible client-side and server-side development tools implementing the most current IPSec security features like IKEv2, stateful firewall In computing, a stateful firewall (any firewall that performs stateful packet inspection (SPI) or stateful inspection) is a firewall that keeps track of the state of network connections (such as TCP streams, UDP communication) travelling across it. , IPv6/IPv4 support, 64-bit platform support, and pre-integration with high-speed security processors for hardware acceleration In computing, hardware acceleration is the use of hardware to perform some function faster than is possible in software running on the normal (general purpose) CPU. Examples of hardware acceleration include blitting acceleration functionality in graphics processing units (GPUs) and . "QuickSec 4.0 is the ideal toolkit for protecting networking applications that require robust VPN security," said Henk Pruim, vice president and general manager of SafeNet's OEM Networking Division. "With QuickSec 4.0, SafeNet customers benefit from a proven software security system that has been optimized to provide robust client and server-side IPSec and IKEv2 security for networking OEMs. The QuickSec Toolkits have been designed to support a wide array of hardware acceleration options to provide our customers with a complete high-performance hardware/software security system." The QuickSec security toolkits provide a complete, standards compliant, and interoperable IPSec and IKE protocol implementation including IPSec cryptography algorithms such as AES, 3DES, SHA-1, SHA-256, MD5, Diffie-Hellman, 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. , DSA (1) (Directory Server Agent) An X.500 program that looks up the address of a recipient in a Directory Information Base (DIB), also known as white pages. It accepts requests from the Directory User Agent (DUA) counterpart in the workstation. , as well as 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 acceleration. QuickSec also provides a multilayer stateful IPv6 / IPv4 TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. firewall with attack prevention, a dual-mode IKE stack enables devices to auto-negotiate an IKEv2 connection or fall back to IKEv1, and Application Layer Gateways (ALGs) for various protocols, including HTTP HTTP in full HyperText Transfer Protocol Standard application-level protocol used for exchanging files on the World Wide Web. HTTP runs on top of the TCP/IP protocol. , SIP, FTP FTP in full file transfer protocol Internet protocol that allows a computer to send files to or receive files from another computer. Like many Internet resources, FTP works by means of a client-server architecture; the user runs client software to connect to , and CIFS (Common Internet File System) The file sharing protocol used in Windows. It evolved out of the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol in DOS, which is why the terms CIFS/SMB and SMB/CIFS are sometimes seen. The word "Internet" in the CIFS name has little relevance. . QuickSec 4.0 Server Toolkit (Standard Edition) QuickSec 4.0 Server Toolkit (Standard Edition) is a complete IPSec VPN development toolkit that provides a robust and fully standards compliant IPSec / IKEv2 solution for device and software developers. QuickSec 4.0 Server Toolkit enables robust authentication, confidentiality, and data integrity for security gateways, firewalls, and network servers. The server toolkit includes robust IKEv2/v1 authentication, remote access features, and high availability APIs for import and export of IPSec security associations for device redundancy and failover. The small runtime footprint with linear deterministic memory allocation ensures seamless scalability. QuickSec 4.0 Server Toolkit supports Linux 2.4/2.6, Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 (also on 64-bit platforms), MontaVista 4.0, VxWorks, and other embedded operating systems. QuickSec 4.0 Client Toolkit (Standard Edition) QuickSec 4.0 Client Toolkit (Standard Edition) is a software development toolkit designed for networking system developers building IPSec VPN client functionality into next-generation OEM software and hardware products. The toolkit provides a robust, small-footprint IKEv2 capable IPSec client to address the market demand for client solutions that provide secure communications on a variety of client devices and software. Supported client platforms include Linux 2.6, MontaVista Linux 4.0 and Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 (also on 64-bit platforms). Robust Security Performance through Hardware Acceleration QuickSec 4.0 has been designed to provide a wide array of options for dedicated hardware acceleration. To accelerate processing speeds of time-critical security algorithms and protocols, QuickSec 4.0 provides native hardware support for SafeNet security processors such as the SafeXcel-51x0 - a unique inline security SoC that processes IP packets faster and more efficiently than conventional look-aside security co-processors. The QuickSec Toolkits are an ideal IPSec solution for security-enabled SoCs from silicon vendors that have integrated SafeNet's hardware security engines into their products to provide robust, high-speed security functions.
