First commercially available TCP/IP stack to get
approved for both host and router
Stockholm, Sweden, and Leesburg, VA, 2004-12-01
Interpeak, a pioneer of Internet and security
protocol solutions for embedded systems, today announced that IPNET,
the company's full-featured dual mode IPv4/IPv6 TCP/IP stack, has
successfully passed the IPv6 Forum's requirements for using the
IPv6 READY logo. Approval to use this logo bears witness to the
work that Interpeak has performed in the IPv6 arena and signals
to developers that IPNET is fully compliant with existing IPv6 standards.
The IPv6 READY Program provides a centralized approval system for
products that will lead the transition to IPv6. Overseen by the
IPv6 Forum, a global consortium of leading Internet vendors (www.ipv6forum.org),
the program helps users identify IPv6-enabled products that are
fully interoperable with other IPv6 equipment.
IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol, is starting to replace
the current protocol, IPv4. A number of factors led to the development
of IPv6, including a shortage of IPv4 addresses and security concerns.
As the Internet transitions to IPv6, applications that require communication
over the Internet will benefit from the dual-mode IPNET stack which
can be used in both IPv4 and IPv6 settings.
"Being the first company to get IPv6 READY approval for a TCP/IP
stack for both hosts and routers demonstrates Interpeak's continued
leadership in - and commitment to - the IPv6 arena," said Lennart
Bång, Interpeak's vice president of engineering. "Developers can
incorporate Interpeak's embedded networking products into their
devices with the confidence that the devices will be IPv6 ready."
IPNET is a full-featured dual mode IPv4/IPv6 TCP/IP stack, specifically
designed for use in embedded real-time systems. The IPNET stack
contains a comprehensive suite of protocols that enable embedded
systems to take full advantage of the Internet. Like other Interpeak
products, Interpeak's IPNET runs on all major real-time operating
systems (RTOSs), such as Linux, INTEGRITY, OSE, VxWorks, Nucleus,
ITRON, and others.
Additional information about this approval is found on our IPv6
READY page. For more information about the IPNET TCP/IP stack,

Among the first to support IPsec for ColdFire®
family of processors
Stockholm, Sweden, and Leesburg, VA, 2004-11-09
Interpeak, a pioneer of Internet and security
protocol solutions for embedded systems, today announced the integration
of Interpeak's IPsec solution and Freescale Semiconductor's ColdFire®
and PowerQUICC™ hardware security engine controllers (SEC). This
enables reduced costs, as well as unprecedented performance, due
to the SEC's dedicated cryptographic processor.
IPsec is the IETF standard for secure IP communication over the
Internet, and comprises a set of protocols that encrypt and authenticate
all IP packets. IPsec is an obligatory component of IPv6 and is
therefore expected to become more prevalent as IPv6 gradually replaces
IPv4. As Interpeak's IPsec resides in the TCP/IP stack, it may be
added transparently to any new or existing embedded application,
ensuring secure networking at the IP level for all resident applications
that communicate over the Internet.
Developers typically use sophisticated encryption algorithms for
security, requiring high levels of processing power. The Interpeak
application leverages Freescale's hardware SEC, leaving bandwidth
free for the processor's CPU to focus on supporting the application,
not its security functions.
"With secure connections quickly becoming a 'must have' for many
of our industrial application customers, their struggle has become
how to provide the necessary security without increasing bill of
materials (BOM) costs, footprint size or processor bandwidth required
to process the security protocols," said Bill Krakar, tools program
manager at Freescale. "An industrial application using Interpeak's
IPsec stack, tuned to fully utilize the hardware encryption engine
available in our new ColdFire-based industrial processors, offloads
the encryption processing from the ColdFire core without requiring
a stand-alone hardware encryption component. This enables the application
to run at essentially full speed without increasing system costs."
"Our initial studies indicate that the combination of IPsec and
the hardware-accelerated encryption available in the Freescale processors
results in an encryption process that is 34 times faster than a
software only process," said Lennart Bång, Interpeak's Vice President
of Engineering.
Like other Interpeak products, Interpeak's IPsec runs on all major
real-time operating systems (RTOSs), such as Linux, INTEGRITY, OSE,
VxWorks, Nucleus, ITRON, and others. It allows developers to add
security to their embedded design at the IP level, thus protecting
all IP based protocols. Additionally, developers may use different
levels of security with IPsec, depending on their applications'
needs and the methods of communication that they require.
The ColdFire MCF548x/7x and PowerQUICC processors integrated with
IPsec are expected to be available later this year. For more information
about Interpeak's IPsec, please visit our product

Leading stack vendor leverages the optimization
capabilities of Freescale Semiconductor's PowerQUICC family.
Dallas, TX and Stockholm, Sweden, 2004-04-27
Interpeak, a pioneer in communications solutions
for embedded systems, today unveiled new versions of its IPLITE
and IPNET TCP/IP IPv4/IPv6 stacks. These new stacks are highly optimized
specifically for the PowerQUICC™ III (MPC8560) integrated communications
processors from Freescale Semiconductor, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Motorola Inc. This forms an extremely powerful communications
solution that enables unprecedented performance in enterprise and
VPN routers, media gateways, and general embedded control devices.
Many communication processors include features that may be leveraged
to significantly improve networking performance. However, this potential
has been underutilized by vendors of TCP/IP stacks and real-time
operating systems (RTOSs). Interpeak now establishes a new standard
in this area by enhancing its protocol stacks with optimizations
specifically created for Freescale Semiconductor's PowerQUICC III
architecture.
Interpeak selected the MPC8560 as the first in a series of high-speed
reference platforms due to its performance and integration capabilities.
The PowerQUICC III processor contains a variety of sophisticated
peripherals and an internal switch fabric. It also includes Freescale's
signature communications-processor module (CPM), a highly tuned
firmware-controlled engine.
The IPNET and IPLITE TCP/IP stacks enable a range of technologies,
including:
- DMA-assisted socket API read/write
- Optimized buffer pool in fast on-chip memory
- Ahead-of-access caching of IP header (stashing)
- HW frame type detection
- Support for 9k Gigabit Ethernet frames
"Conventional TCP/IP stacks make little or no use of the many features
of modern CPU architectures," said Lennart Bång, Interpeak's Vice
President of Engineering. "By taking advantage of the advanced optimization
techniques that are available in the PowerQUICC III processor family,
the performance of our networking products has reached a previously
inaccessible level."
The IPNET and IPLITE IPv4/v6 Embedded TCP/IP stacks for the PowerQUICC
processors come ready to run on any of today's RTOSs, such as INTEGRITY,
OSE, Linux, VxWorks and others. As with all Interpeak products,
they are delivered as portable ANSI C code.

Stockholm, Sweden and Leesburg, Va, 2004-03-10
Interpeak, one of the leading providers of Internet
and security protocol solutions for embedded systems, today announced
the addition of a Mobile IP component to IPNET, Interpeak's versatile
dual mode IPv4/IPv6 TCP/IP stack. IPNET and its mobile IP node are
designed to help organizations easily enable their customers to
benefit from seamless mobility throughout the Internet-connected
world, no matter which platform the home network is using. With
IPNET's Mobile IP, end users will be able to travel from one network
to another without even noticing the switch.
About Mobile IP
The worldwide explosion in networks and connectivity has enabled
a new dimension of user mobility. However, users have not been able
to maintain a static IP address when traveling, whether they are
traveling across great distances or simply from one network, such
as a wireless LAN, to another. The static IP address provided by
Mobile IP allows certain services to remain available wherever and
however a user travels. For example, existing TCP connections will
not be disconnected while moving around from network to network.
Interpeak's Mobile IP Node
Interpeak's Mobile IP node, which easily integrates into a wide
variety of embedded system platforms, enables complete user mobility
through use of a daemon with automatic mobility detection. Integrated
with the IPNET Embedded TCP/IP stack, the Mobile IP daemon automatically
detects a change in network and adapts to the new environment. The
change is seamless to the user, but in the background IPNET uses
highly secure password authentication, tunneling, reverse-tunneling
(if necessary) and "care of" addresses, all required components
and processes outlined in IETF's RFC 2002.
"The IPNET TCP/IP stack for IPv4 and IPv6 is powerful and simple
to use," said Lennart Bang, VP Engineering, Interpeak. "From the
beginning, it was critical to maintain those qualities when adding
a Mobile IP component to IPNET. What we came up with is a clean
implementation that is simple to configure for the system administrator,
while offering secure and reliable mobility. To the end user, the
operation is completely seamless."
The IPNET Embedded TCP/IP stack with its Mobile IP node comes ready

Stockholm, Sweden and Leesburg, Va, 2004-01-13
Interpeak AB, a leading supplier of Internet and
security protocol solutions for embedded systems, today announced
the release of the second generation of its Secure Shell (SSH).
The new SSH Server includes many new features such as support for
IPv6, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Secure File Transfer Protocol
(SFTP), and Remote Authentication via RADIUS. Embedded Systems can
thus connect to each other and also communicate with other devices
in a completely secure manner, enabling remote management, configuration,
interrogation, fault detection and numerous other security-dependent
tasks over the Internet.
SSH was originally designed as a replacement for traditional non-secure
login methods such as rsh, rlogin and telnet, but over the years
it has evolved to become a more general-purpose secure tunneling
protocol. It is now the de facto Internet standard for logging-in
to remote machines securely, and its estimated usage has reached
three million users in 80 countries.
One of the main advantages of SSH is its ease-of-use, while still
maintaining state-of-the-art security. There are no complicated
network configurations to perform; the only thing required by an
SSH client when connecting to a server is a valid password.
Interpeak Embedded SSH protects against:
- Eavesdropping and interception of readable passwords and
other data by intermediate hosts.
- Manipulation of data by people in control of intermediate
hosts (hijacking).
- IP spoofing, where a remote host sends out packets disguised
as originating from a trusted host.
- IP spoofing on a local host, where a spoofer might send
a message disguised as originating from an outside host.
In other words, because SSH is built to never trust the Internet;
a hostile presence that has taken over a network can not decrypt,
play back the traffic, or hijack the connection.
Additionally, SSH provides several secure tunnelling capabilities,
which may be used to create circuit-layer Virtual Private Networks
(VPNs) by forwarding arbitrary TCP connections. A variety of authentication
methods is also supported.
"Most companies are aware of the need for a strong security infrastructure,"
said Johan Fornaeus, CEO of Interpeak. "Interpeak Embedded SSH guarantees
that information sent over the Internet is strongly encrypted, thereby
effectively preserving the integrity of corporate networks."
Interpeak Embedded SSH comes ready to run on leading real-time
operating systems (RTOSs) such as INTEGRITY, OSE, Linux, VxWorks,
Nucleus, ITRON and others. As with all Interpeak products, it is
delivered as portable ANSI C code, and can be used with any of today's
RTOSs.
