Green Hills Software has integrated its INTEGRITY RTOS, Embedded Cryptographic Toolkit and advanced MULTI IDE with the Freescale Semiconductor C29x cryptographic coprocessor family. This enables designers to accommodate increasing demand for secure processing in government, banking and defence system applications, such as data centre computing, hardware security modules and security appliances.

Key transactions and secure network communications which utilise compute-intensive maths quickly saturates today's general-purpose processors and even multicore SoCs with cryptographic acceleration. Freescale's C29x security engine (SEC) offloads this processing with unparalleled performance. By incorporating the computational acceleration of the C29x coprocessor, Green Hills Software is offering customers a three-pronged end-to-end solution for the stringent requirements of embedded secure networking and cryptographic module computing.

Certified as the most secure operating system in the world (Common Criteria EAL 6+, High Robustness), the INTEGRITY RTOS offers an extensive array of integrated middleware for file systems, wireless, IPv4/v6 networking, graphics and connectivity. The INTEGRITY separation architecture and scheduling policies guarantee real-time determinism, application separation and quality of service.

A complete software and hardware environment for building embedded applications in C, C++, and Embedded C++, the MULTI IDE and Green Hills JTAG probe enable software developers to create a more reliable product, which is brought to market more quickly and with lower development costs.

Validated to FIPS 140-2 level 1 and meeting the NSA Suite B Standard, the Embedded Cryptographic Toolkit provides a complete set of C- language cryptographic algorithms, random number generators, secret-key and public-key cryptography and secure networking protocols.

Tareq Bustami, Vice President, Product Management, Digital Networking, Freescale, commented: “As modern commerce and communications require higher levels of security, Freescale’s C29x crypto coprocessor family brings new scalability in both power and performance at a low cost. Green Hills Software brings to us industry leadership for software security through its INTEGRITY RTOS and Embedded Cryptographic Toolkit.”
