Wireless solutions

Overview

Wireless technologies have exploded into prominence over the last few years, with newer and more advanced standards emerging all the time. As wireless traffic becomes more pervasive, the requirement for high quality security becomes even more important. All the recent standards have included security from the start, with the older standards like 802.11 being brought up to date with its 802.11i security extensions.

Many of these standards use AES-CCM as the basis for their security; this is a good choice because it provides both encryption and authentication in a single efficient solution. Helion were the first company to offer a specific wireless security processor solution back in 2002, and so by now we have many satisfied customers in place using this technology, as well as the solutions we have developed subsequently to address specific wireless requirements.
