SSH IPSEC Express

SSH IPSEC Express is a toolkit for implementing IPsec security in TCP/IP products. It has been tailor made for OEMs and system integrators who need strong, cryptographic security in their core products. The SSH IPSEC Express provides developers with the most secure, interoperable and complete IPsec solution on the market. It saves considerable amount of time in product development and delivery.

The Internet Protocol (IP) has proven to be a highly efficient, cost effective, and flexible communication protocol for local and global communications. However, IP is vulnerable to security risks that are preventing its full use for business and other purposes involving confidential data. To enable new types of business opportunities using IP, a number of security solutions have been developed. So far, these solutions have lacked standards enabling the manufacture of products that interoperate - a feature which is crucial for global communications.

IPsec is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard for protecting IP traffic using cryptography on the packet level. This technology adds security to IP without limiting its flexibility. It has been adopted by all leading vendors, and will be the future standard for secure communications on the Internet. Leading companies world-wide are utilizing this technology to gain the competitive edge provided by secure communications. SSH Communications Security is one of the developers of the IPsec standard. Outside North America, SSH Communications Security is the only company, who has been actively developing the IETF's IPsec standards.

SSH IPSEC Express provides unrestricted, strong cryptographic security. The cryptographic expertise of SSH Communications Security Ltd ensures that the implementation is highly secure. Comprehensive integration support and maintenance make product development painless. The commitment of SSH Communications Security to product quality and continual innovation ensures that the SSH partners will continue to succeed in providing leading products to their customers in the future.

SSH IPSEC Express has been designed to integrate easily into general-purpose and embedded operating systems. It can be located between the TCP/IP stack and the network adapter, or just above IP to allow the vendor to choose the most suitable alternative for the particular environment. Its interfaces with operating system services are clean and simple. It also comes with tools and interfaces to integrate it easily into the surrounding security infrastructure. SSH IPSEC Express toolkit comes with extensive product documentation, which makes the integration easy.

Examples of the use of SSH IPSEC Express include:

• Virtual Private Networking (VPN) devices
  
• Firewalls
  
• Routers
  
• Operating Systems
  
• Embedded Systems
  
• Network Management applications
  
• Electronic Banking applications
