NTRU and Texas Instruments to Conduct Demonstration of Secure Wireless on TI's OMAP Processor Platform at 2002 RSA Conference
Small, Fast Encryption with TI's OMAP Processors Enables Secure Real-Time Applications on Next-Generation Wireless Devices
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2002--
NTRU, the only provider of strong security that fits everywhere,
will conduct a demonstration with Texas Instruments, Incorporated (TI)
at the 2002 RSA Conference. The demonstration, which showcases NTRU's
next-generation security technology with TI's OMAP(TM) processors for
2.5G and 3G mobile phones, wireless personal digital assistants (PDAs)
and mobile Internet appliances, can be viewed at NTRU's booth, #521,
at the 2002 RSA Conference in San Jose, February 18-22.
"Security and improved user experience are key enablers for the
proliferation of wireless data services. Our collaboration delivers
both. TI is the market leader in high performance semiconductor
wireless solutions, which enables the next generation of wireless
applications. NTRU's security technology enables TI's OMAP processors
to deliver strong security without performance degradation or delay,
and without increased power consumption," said NTRU CEO Scott
Crenshaw.
NTRU delivers strong, fast security that operates with minimal
power consumption and fits into a tiny footprint. Completely
transparent on TI's OMAP processors, NTRU's security helps mobile
device users enjoy secure delivery of real-time applications such as
streaming video.
"NTRU has developed security technology that overcomes the power
and size constraints of wireless devices and provides a security
solution with benefits for developers and consumers alike," stated
David Potts, worldwide applications manager for TI's OMAP platform.
"TI is committed to working with NTRU to drive the proliferation of
secure wireless communications using TI's OMAP processors."
The demonstration features DMOD's secure digital media
collaboration and distribution software. DMOD's software takes
advantage of TI's OMAP processor platform and NTRU's public-key
cryptography to help content creators securely share digital media
files across all types of networks including wireless and the public
Internet.
