Tallika announces immediate availability of broad array of IPSEC Cores

Mesa, AZ., September 5, 2005 – Tallika Corporation, an Intellectual Property and Design Services Company, today announced immediate availability of multigigabit IPSEC security cores capable of performing upto 2.7 Gbps AES/SHA-1 IPSEC in a single channel. These IPSEC cores are fully compliant with IETF RFC 2401 and provide automatic processing of IPV4 packets with IP option headers. The Company also disclosed that its solutions have been proven on a system level real world FPGA platform and the highest performance version have been licensed to a large semiconductor vendor for integration into a high-end ASSP product for an imminent tapeout in 0.13u technology.

“Tallika’s team has a solid reputation and a long track record of delivering cutting edge Information Security solutions. Our latest offerings will go a long way in further pushing the integration of security functions into a broad array of Networking and Storage applications,” said Hemi Bhatnagar, Co-founder, President and CEO of Tallika Corporation. “With these products, Tallika is entering the next phase of its growth with real products and an excellent Customer base for each of its products and services”.

“Continuing our push into security space, these latest offerings enable our Customers to completely offload IPSEC packet handling functions with minimal gate count,” said Satish Anand, Co-founder and CTO of Tallika Corporation. “Our finely tuned state machine based solution provides the best throughput per gate in the industry for an integrated IPSEC Protocol Offload engine.”

Key Features:

• The IPSEC block supports Ethernet In (cleartext or ciphertext) and Ethernet Out (ciphertext or cleartext) —Fully Compliant with RFC 2401.
• IPv4 with IP option headers
