Hifn Facilitates New IEEE 1619 Disk and Tape Encryption Standards for Interoperable Secure Storage Solutions
LOS GATOS, Calif., Feb. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — The Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) has approved two new
storage security standards, setting the stage for a new generation of
interoperable and highly secure storage solutions powered by encryption
technology from security market leaders such as Hifn(TM) (Nasdaq: HIFN),
the catalyst behind storage and networking innovation.
“Many issues in security and storage result from the lack of standards
so the interoperability enabled with the IEEE 1619 developments is a huge
value proposition for customers to deploy security across a diverse set of
storage solutions from multiple vendors,” said Russell Dietz, Chief
Technology Officer at Hifn. “These new encryption standards were started by
Tier 1 storage OEMs, and driven by Hifn, because standards have become
imperative for the market to grow, to deliver simplified, broad, secured
storage solutions.”
The first standard, IEEE 1619(TM) “Standard for Cryptographic
Protection of Data on Block-Oriented Storage Devices”, addresses data
storage on disk drives. The second approved standard, IEEE 1619.1(TM)
“Standard for Authenticated Encryption with Length Expansion for Storage
Devices”, deals with data encryption on enterprise-class tape drives. The
new standards provide a high level of interoperability for disk and tape
products from different vendors, ensuring that data encrypted on a disk or
tape drive from one vendor can be accurately decrypted and read back on
devices from other vendors. One of the first commercial products to benefit
from the 1619 standardization work is the new LTO-4 tape technology,
utilizing encryption mechanisms and encoding models that are recognized by
IEEE 1619.1.
Hifn was one of more than a dozen companies that actively participated
in the IEEE Security in Storage Working Group that crafted the new disk and
tape encryption standards. The company’s strong support of storage and
security standardization is nothing new and is the latest example of the
company’s market and technology leadership with a 10-year history of
developing high-performance cryptographic processors. Hifn is committed to
being an active participant in nurturing emerging standards related to
securing information, whether the information is in transit across the
network or data at rest residing on removable or fixed media systems.
“Our commitment is to making sure customers can use security in their
storage systems,” said Dietz. We’ve simplified the installation and
deployment process for encryption ASPs to make security happen in storage
systems. By also supporting storage security standardization Hifn is
working to accelerate the use of encryption for data at rest.”
Hifn’s full line of Applied Services Processors as well as its
board-level security acceleration products currently support, and are
compliant with, the encryption algorithms specified in the IEEE 1619
standards. Hifn’s processor architecture leverages a zero-impact design
making it a simple process for OEMs to quickly add standardized security
functionality to their storage products.
