RMI Corporation Offers FIPS Certified XLS™ and XLR® Processors
for
Security Appliances in Enterprise and Infrastructure Markets
RMI Processors are the first multi-core multi-threaded solutions to be validated by
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Cupertino, CA, July 16, 2008 — RMI Corporation, a leading provider of High
Performance Processor Solutions for Networking, Communications and Media Rich
Applications, today announced that its Multi-Core Multi-Threaded XLS and XLR
Processors have achieved FIPS 140-2certification by the National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST). The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 is
the U.S. government’s stringent security standard for cryptographic modules. It is widely
recognized as the benchmark for the highest levels of security assurance and is being
rapidly adopted by both government agencies and secure private industries such as
finance, banking and healthcare.
“RMI joins many other companies such as Intel, AMD, Freescale, ARM and numerous
ASIC products that have crossed this certification threshold. The certification of the XLS
and XLR Processors as the first multi-core multi-threaded processors is an important
milestone for RMI as a leader in the security market delivering the highest levels of
throughput and performance” said Mark Litvack, director, business development, RMI.
RMI products provide advanced processor technology in performance and integration,
and are used by system and original equipment manufacturers to address a variety of
Digital Consumer, Wireless, Networking and Security applications. The company’s
XLR™, XLS™, and Alchemy™ processor families are based on an innovative MIPScompatible
architecture creating highly-integrated designs incorporating advanced
internal architectures and built on leading-edge silicon process technologies.
Numerous security and networking equipment suppliers have implemented the XLS and
XLR Processors in their systems taking advantage of the integrated Autonomous
Security Acceleration Engine® for FIPS certification. A sampling of equipment vendors
that have reached certification can be found on the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA)
