"ALGORITHMS: Freescale teams with Mocana to secure network nodes"

Freescale Semiconductor Inc. is bundling its Power quad integrated communications controller (PowerQuicc) embedded microprocessor with Mocana Corp.'s Device Security Framework software. The move is being announced Tuesday (June 26) at the Freescale Technology Forum in Orlando, Fla. Freescale's PowerQuicc -II, -II Pro and -III series microprocessors already have an on-chip encryption/decryption engine, but until now application engineers had to program it themselves. With the Freescale-Mocana bundle, designers working with PowerQuicc will have access to preprogrammed security services that execute asynchronously without loading the main core.
