Asier Technology is pleased to have the opportunity to propose a program to upgrade communications security with a proven encryption algorithm. High-speed, high-security encryption is Asier's core competency. Asier has developed a suite of highly advanced, processor-efficient encryption algorithms that are both faster and more secure than many current algorithms in use. In addition to high-speed encryption, Asier has obtained development rights to several high-efficiency compression algorithms. Integrating encryption and compression in challenging environments such as space/power constrained devices or wireless application is at the very core of Asier's business. Asier has already produced encryption/compression software that can protect voice and video over IP transitions in real-time environments. Asier routinely demonstrates software based encryption rates above 100 mega-bits per second running on low-end COTS Windows ® platforms. Research and code modeling suggests that on a single Texas Instruments 64x series DSP chip, speeds of 1 to 1.6 giga-bit per second are achievable with Asier Large Key Streaming Encryption. Multiple DSP chipsets can be integrated to achieve multi-gigabit throughput.
