Elliptic Semiconductor Licenses its IPSec Core to Centillium

Elliptic Semiconductor has licensed its IPSec offload engine to Centillium Communications for use in its ADSL System-on-Chip (SoC) product family. Elliptic said the dramatic increase in speed of ADSL to 40 Mbps or more in countries such as Japan makes DSL the preferred method of Internet access for corporate email, extranets and remote access for mobile and/or home based employees. Increasingly businesses use either IPSec or SSL virtual private networks (VPNs) to conduct business with complete privacy over the increasingly hostile Internet.


Elliptic Semiconductor is based in Ottawa. http://www.ellipticsemi.com
