Secure Software Toolkits and Libraries

Rambus secure software toolkits and libraries feature a complete range of capabilities that secure communications, as well as offer cryptographic services that are FIPS-certified or protected against side channel attacks. The Security Protocol Toolkits provide high interoperability and portability for use in security gateways, cloud deployments, smartphones and IoT devices. They include full featured implementations of key exchange protocols, as well as the datapath with all required cipher libraries.

Solution	Description
MACsec Toolkit	Complete and modular software implementation of MACsec suite
IPsec Toolkit	A scalable, complete, and fully compliant IPsec implementation. Used in cloud and virtual deployments, high traffic VPN gateways, and embedded devices.
FIPS Cryptographic Libraries	FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic libraries offering up-to-date implementations of all algorithms needed by IPsec or TLS.

IoT Security Framework

The Rambus IoT Security Framework is a series of embedded software toolkits that protect cost-sensitive devices which possess limited abilities to protect the internal SoC with a rich set of security protocols that include TLS and IPsec. Designed for Internet of Things (IoT) devices and cloud-based applications, the IoT Security Framework offers a common API that provides the required cryptographic and certificate tools. Depending on unique applications needs, designers can choose either FIPS 140-2 or FIPS 140-3 level 1 certified or DPA-protected crypto libraries. The FIPS TLS toolkit, in combination with a pre-integrated FIPS library, provides a FIPS-compliant software package that allows system designers to securely access any common cloud service for their device.

Solution	Description
Secure Boot	Provides tools for integrating security into an embedded device’s system boot sequence. Uses strong cryptography to protect the boot process of SoCs and application processors.
FIPS TLS Toolkit	FIPS compliant TLS 1.3 implementation for embedded devices.
DPA Resistant Software Libraries	Provides the professional cryptographic library needed to secure connected devices.

Secure Networking Basics: MACsec, IPsec, and SSL/TLS/DTLS

The MACsec, IPsec and SSL/TLS/DTLS protocols are the primary means of securing data in motion (communicated between connected devices). These protocols can be anchored in hardware or implemented in software as part of an end-to-end security architecture. This white paper provides fundamental information on each of these protocols including their interrelationships and use cases.
