RSA BSAFE(R) Crypto-C Micro Edition Meets National Security Agency's Suite B
Cryptography Requirements
BEDFORD, Mass., March 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RSA Security Inc.
(Nasdaq: RSAS) today announced that the National Security Agency selected
RSA(R) BSAFE(R) Crypto-C Micro Edition (ME) encryption software for use in a
classified communications project.
RSA BSAFE Crypto-C ME software meets the Suite B cryptography requirements
issued by the National Security Agency (NSA). RSA Security believes that its
ability to meet these requirements today, the company's commitment to
delivering Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)-validated versions
of its products across a broad range of operating platforms, and its ability
to meet the requirements of constrained and harsh environments were all
critical to the National Security Agency's selection of RSA BSAFE Crypto-C ME
software.
Introduced at RSA Conference 2005, Suite B provides a common set of
cryptographic algorithms that the technology industry may leverage to build
solutions that meet the security needs of U.S. federal government
organizations. In addition, Suite B cryptography requirements provide
assurance that U.S. government agencies have access to technology solutions
that are both secure and interoperable.
"As organizations worldwide, including U.S. government agencies, strive to
better protect their most sensitive information, it is vital that encryption
technologies support emerging standards and requirements, such as Suite B,"
said Rick Welch, senior vice president and general manager, Developer
Solutions Division at RSA Security. "Suite B conformance, and the National
Security Agency's decision to select RSA BSAFE encryption technology,
demonstrate RSA Security's ability to deliver solutions that meet the unique
requirements of our customers, including agencies within the U.S. federal
government."
