silex technology Launches an Embedded Software Solution for Wireless Network Security; Network Security Suite (NSS) Supports Major Wireless Security Standards for Maximum Interoperability and Quickest Time to Market.TUSTIN, Calif. -- silex silex (sī´leks) (silicon dioxide), n a substance used in dental surface polishing due to its abrasive characteristics. technology america Inc., a leader in the device connectivity industry, today launched Network Security Suite (NSS (Novell Storage Services) A 64-bit file system introduced with NetWare 5 that can support terabyte-sized files. NSS files and standard NetWare files can be used in the same server. See NetWare 5. 1. (networking) NSS - Nodal Switching System. ), a comprehensive software solution designed to give 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 manufacturers the ability to integrate network security into their products. "Security is critical for networking applications, especially with wireless networks," said Keith Sugawara, general manager of the connectivity and wireless division of silex. "With the launch of NSS, we are providing an easy-to-use solution for OEMs to bring their top-quality products to market quickly, meet the need for security, and interoperability." NSS is a customizable source code library that includes 802.1x authentication with the most commonly used EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) A protocol that acts as a framework and transport for other authentication protocols. EAP uses its own start and end messages, but then carries any number of third-party messages between the client (supplicant) and access control types (TLS (1) (Transport Layer Security) A security protocol from the IETF that is based on the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 protocol developed by Netscape. TLS uses digital certificates to authenticate the user as well as authenticate the network (in a wireless , TTLS TTLS Tunneled Transport Layer Security TTLS Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (song) TTLS Transportable Transponder Landing System TTLS Trivial Transport Layer Security TTLS Tunneling Two-Level System , PEAP See EAP. , and FAST), Cisco LEAP, as well as WPA WPA: see Work Projects Administration.

Small memory footprint designed to be more efficient silex has more than 30 years of experience in developing embedded products. NSS was coded specifically for embedded systems, so it is more efficient and has a smaller memory footprint than general-purpose security software. It is also modular, so users only need to include the specific component required for application in the run-time mode. Designed for Portability NSS is designed to be readily adaptable to any hardware platform and operating system. Its OS abstraction layer minimizes operating system dependence by isolating OS-specific functions. This abstraction layer defines a set of OS dependent hooks that need to be implemented when porting the library onto a particular platform. NSS provides an OS-independent API for requesting OS-related functions like memory allocations. NSS also provides a generic API to isolate it from specific network interfaces used on the target platform. NSS uses this API to query the physical network drivers as to the capabilities of the specific networks in use, to set the network operating mode, and to perform data I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output to and from the network interface. NSS supports multiple contexts, so it can be used with multiple wired and wireless network interfaces on a single device. Porting and Support Services Prospective OEMs can choose to do their own porting of NSS or contract silex engineering team to do the same. Either way, silex technical support team will ensure a trouble-free integration of NSS with the OEM's product. Family of Connectivity Solutions NSS software is the latest addition to the silex family of hardware connectivity products. OEMs who do not have network connectivity hardware built in their products can select from several external or internal hardware OEM solutions. These solutions offer the same security features and capabilities found in the NSS, while providing time to market advantage in the hardware domain.
