The full cryptographic suite of algorithms within Security Builder® Crypto™ is optimized for constrained platforms but can also be used in desktops and servers. The option to link only the features you need means compact implementations between 2KB and 175 KB. The result is faster processing, better bandwidth usage, reduced storage and longer battery life.
The long-term interoperability of your security design is assured through compliance with ANSI, IEEE and FIPS standards, as well as NSA requirements, and a wide range of algorithms including ECC, RSA, DSA, Diffie-Hellman, SHA-2, and AES. These algorithms provide the necessary security for SSL/TLS, IKEv1/IKEv2, IPSec, and OMA DRM 2.0.
The same API for more than 30 platforms and multiple languages means Security Builder Crypto can be easily integrated into your applications with no porting required, cutting development costs and time-to-market. Choose from multiple programming languages, including C and Java. Used within the context of the Certicom Security Architecture, this API* provides a common interface between the protocols and cryptographic providers, further simplifying your development cycle.
As the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) replaces older security algorithms, public-key sizes must be increased to provide equivalent strength for AES. ECC provides smaller key sizes with higher strength-per-bit than any public-key cryptographic system today, resulting in better performance in constrained environments.
