The market of VPN is one of the hottest sectors in the Internet security and its deployment is just beginning to gain acceptance. CipherActive would like to add competitive edge to software or appliance vendors of this emerging market.

CipherActive's PKI and symmetric acceleration libraries offer the fastest low-cost encryption implementation, with performance comparable to that of hardware accelerator cards. The libraries embed competitive edge feature into VPN-IP SEC or IKE protocols for servers and clients, and to wireless VPN handheld devices.

With the movement towards the new symmetric algorithm - AES, which is 8x faster than the popular algorithm - 3DES, the significance of PKI performance is increasing. In transactions of about 256 kbits, the PKI calculations consume about 50% of the time spent in the whole transaction. Using CipherActive's efficient software, you don't need to avoid frequent key exchange and compromise security in order to increase performance. For long transactions, our symmetric encryption including: AES, DES, 3DES, RC4, RC6, etc., offers the most efficient implementation, without any additional hardware. Additionally, while costly encryption hardware is only considered for servers, our low cost software solution is best suited for any kind of software client, appliance and restricted mobile devices.
