IRVINE, Calif., May 18, 2001 – Rainbow iVEA, a Rainbow Technologies (Nasdaq: RNBO) company and a leading provider of high-performance security solutions for the Internet and eCommerce, has captured its second consecutive AeA High Tech Award for the CryptoSwift family of eCommerce acceleration solutions. The CryptoSwift HSM (Hardware Security Module) which provides physical security and fast online transactions in high-assurance environments was awarded “Outstanding Hardware Technology” at last night’s 2001 Orange County AeA High Tech Awards in Santa Ana, Calif. The CryptoSwift 600 was a winner in this category last year and a winner of Network Computing Magazine’s Well Connected Award at last week’s Networld+Interop trade show in Las Vegas.
“We congratulate Rainbow iVEA for being selected as an award winner for providing an innovative product,” said Phil Beaudoin, executive director, Orange County Council, AeA. “The CryptoSwift HSM is an outstanding example of an innovative product developed in Orange County.”
“We are delighted to have the CryptoSwift HSM recognized by the AeA for this award,” said Shawn Abbott, president, Rainbow iVEA. “With this second AeA award and last week’s Well Connected Award, CryptoSwift is the industry’s de facto standard for secure network performance. This award further recognizes the extraordinary value that the CryptoSwift HSM/WS provides for high-assurance environments such as banking and financial services. We are pleased that the AeA has honored us with another High Tech Award.”
Rainbow iVEA’s CryptoSwift family of eCommerce performance and security acceleration solutions is the industry’s de facto standard for cryptographic acceleration, providing fast and secure transactions over the Internet while dramatically reducing Web server and network appliance response time. CryptoSwift accelerates the public-key cryptographic functions of popular security protocols such as SSL/TLS, WAP/WTLS, S/MIME, IKE/IPSec and others. This proven technology, first developed by Rainbow iVEA, improves server-response time for secure connections by freeing the Web servers and network appliances to perform other tasks, especially during peak load and heavy traffic periods.
