Wind River 'Tornado Certifies' TeamF1's SSHield Embedded Network Security Product.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers FREMONT Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 2002 TeamF1 Inc. a leading developer of software product suites for network security announced today that Wind River Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:WIND) has certified SSHield for the market-leading VxWorks(R) real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. (RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. ). The WindLink(TM) certification extends TeamF1's reach into markets that Wind River serves with its VxWorks(R) real-time operating system (RTOS) and strengthens TeamF1's partnership with the leading platform provider in the embedded industry. TeamF1's SSHield has been certified on Wind River's Tornado(R) integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment (IDE)/VxWorks RTOS as it passed all the compatibility requirements for seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. with the VxWorks RTOS, and can be configured directly through the Tornado(R) IDE. SSHield is a robust, open-standards based, small-footprint implementation of Secure Shell for Wind River's VxWorks and VxWorks AE operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. . SSHield integrates the core server and client components needed to implement a secure communications channel Also called a "circuit" or "line," it is a pathway over which data are transferred between remote devices. It may refer to the entire physical medium, such as a telephone line, optical fiber, coaxial cable or twisted wire pair, or, it may refer to one of several carrier frequencies over insecure networks. Its unique, advanced features include a suite of secure applications such as secure copy (scp), secure 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 (sftp and sftpd), a built-in version of cryptography modules and application programming interfaces (APIs) 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 of the cryptography modules. "Close integration of network security components with the operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. and development environment is key to the adoption of secure applications. This certification of SSHield by the leader in real-time operating systems provides further evidence of TeamF1's commitment to provide embedded software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. developers with innovative solutions for their security needs," said Vinai Kolli, Vice-President of Engineering and co-founder of TeamF1. "Tornado certification is available to those partners that pass our quality integration tests. The certification of TeamF1's sophisticated security solution provides our customers with the confidence that they are getting a well-integrated product that runs seamlessly within the VxWorks environment and can use all the power of the Tornado tools," said Caroline Yao, Director of partner solutions at Wind River.
