Overview
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol and its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS), are
commonly used to create a secure connection between a client and server wishing to exchange data
over the Internet.
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) adopted SSL version 3.0 to define the protocol that
became TLS v1.0 and which subsequently evolved into TLS v1.1 and then the latest TLS v1.2
described in IETF RFC 5246. The TLS protocol suite defines various service options for key
exchange using public key cryptography, certificate-based client/server authentication,
and data encryption and authentication of application data transfers.
Helion SSL/TLS Solution
In keeping with the nature of the SSL and TLS protocol suites which provide extensibility and
backward compatibility between versions, Helion can provide hardware acceleration solutions
for the key cryptographic algorithms needed to implement the Cipher Suites defined in IETF RFC 5246:
Whatever your SSL/TLS needs, Helion can provide an efficient hardware acceleration solution from
our range of industry-leading security IP cores to meet your system requirements across a broad
range of ASIC and FPGA technologies.
