Secure Products
Security is an ever-present
concern in today's connected world. Hardware security acceleration
is a requirement, not just for the server, but for cost and
power sensitive mobile terminals such as PDAs and phones too.
Hardware security functions provide many benefits over software
security functions including increased throughput, and reduced
latency, power, CPU load, and clock frequency.
Athena helps you realize these
benefits with its comprehensive TeraFire® family of hardware
security functions. The TeraFire family encompasses public
key cryptography, secret key cryptography, secure hashes,
and random number generation. Athena is ready to help you
analyze your security hardware accelerator requirements and
customize a package of functions for your application.
Public Key Cryptography
Public key cryptography is a crucial component of security
for both networking and e-commerce applications. Public key
cryptography requires high precision modular exponentiation
and multiplication operations, mathematically intensive problems
that bring the microprocessors found in servers and mobile
terminals to their knees.
Athena's TeraFire public key
cryptography solutions showcase the strongest features of
Athena's proprietary high-precision multiplier technology:
speed, power efficiency, and cost effectiveness.
Athena supports your product succession strategy with three
distinct product families of TeraFire® public key cryptography
solutions, optimized for applications ranging from battery
powered mobile terminals to ultra-high-performance servers.

Cryptographic Hash Functions
Cryptographic hash functions are required for data integrity
verification. Athena offers Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure
Hash Algorithm (SHA) cryptographic hash accelerators that
support SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.

Random Number Generation
Data security applications require high-quality, cryptographic-grade
random numbers to serve as secret key material, and to use
as the basis for negotiating shared keys with other parties
using public key cryptographic techniques. Cryptographic-grade
random numbers can only be produced by starting with non-deterministic
sources of randomness, which means that cryptographic-grade
random numbers cannot be produced in software only. This makes
hardware random number generation a "must have"
technology.
