CryptoSwift 600 and EN 1000 eCommerce Acceleration Solutions Combine Robust
Cryptographic Security With Added Web Server Speed and Capacity to Power
Secure eCommerce Transactions
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Rainbow Technologies
(Nasdaq: RNBO), Irvine, CA, a leading provider of Internet and eCommerce
security solutions, today debuted new members of the company's family of
eCommerce acceleration products that provides rapid acceleration of complex
and robust encryption processes for today's high capacity eCommerce web
servers. The new CryptoSwift 600 and CryptoSwift EN 1000, introduced and
demonstrated at today's RSA 2000 Data Security Conference, are the fastest
eCommerce accelerator products in the industry and let eCommerce Web sites
handle substantially more traffic with virtually no customer waiting.
These new members of the CryptoSwift family of eCommerce acceleration
solutions are ideal for online retail, electronic stock trading, financial
services, payment gateways, medical records processing, and other online
services for business-to-business and business-to-consumer eCommerce. Using
patent-pending technology, CryptoSwift contains a public-key processor that
offloads and speeds up the operations that would otherwise saturate the Web
server's main processor. Running up to 600 transactions per second with the
CryptoSwift 600 or 1000 transactions per second with the CryptoSwift EN 1000,
CryptoSwift provides 1024 bit RSA transaction processing time of less than
five milliseconds.
"These new products represent our ongoing commitment to providing leading
performance and ease-of-use in the market segment Rainbow pioneered and
leads," said Shawn Abbott, chief technology officer, Rainbow Technologies.
"Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is increasingly used to secure not only Web
servers, but also directory servers (LDAP), mail servers (POP3, IMAP, SMTP),
certificate authority (CA) servers and application service provider (ASP)
servers. CryptoSwift 600 and EN 1000 maximized the capacity of all server
applications running on SSL and other security protocols. CryptoSwift
performs digital signatures in less than half the time of an 800 MHz
Pentium(TM) III Xeon, and a single CryptoSwift can more than triple the
capacity of today's fastest eight-way servers from Sun, HP, IBM, Intel and
others."
Fast, Faster, Fastest eCommerce Transactions
All of the new CryptoSwift products improve server response time by as
much as 90 percent. Improved response time frees the server to perform other
tasks while accelerating SSL to make sure a secure transaction is a rapid one.
The CryptoSwift 600 easily plugs into the PCI slot of any popular server
platform and seamlessly installs into all standard secure Web server software
packages including Netscape, Apache, and Microsoft. CryptoSwift works with
existing secure Web server resources and makes an organization's
infrastructure investment last longer. For Web server environments with no
PCI slot availability, the CryptoSwift EN 1000 delivers all of the benefits of
the CryptoSwift 600 in an "accelerator appliance" form factor. The EN 1000
can handle as many as 1,000 transactions per second with faster transaction
processing response times and no compromise in PKI security technology.
Both new CryptoSwift products accelerate popular security protocols such
as SSL, IPSec, SET, SSH, TLS and others. Additional features include:
-- Improves Web server response time by as much as 90 percent
-- Virtually eliminates customer wait times at the web
-- Extends the life cycle of existing hardware infrastructure investment
while increasing speed and performance, and enhancing security.
-- Scalable performance with multiple CryptoSwift cards or CryptoSwift EN
appliances
-- A single EN 1000 supports multiple Web servers via an Ethernet
connection.
-- Offloads public key infrastructure (PKI) encryption calculations.
-- Provides true hardware random number generator
-- Integrates seamlessly with secure server software
-- Increases client/customer capacity; eCommerce web sites can accommodate
more customers even at peak times.
Pricing and Availability
The CryptoSwift 600 is priced at $12,989 U.S. List. The CryptoSwift EN
1000 is priced at $26,989 U.S. List. International pricing is available.
