Module Name
Allegro Cryptographic Engine
Historical Reason
Moved to historical list in accordance with SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition (AES/TDES key wrapping)
Caveat
The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
Description
Allegro’s suite of Embedded Device Security toolkits makes embedding standards-based security protocols into resource sensitive embedded systems and consumer electronics fast, easy and reliable. The Allegro Cryptographic Engine (ACE) is a cryptographic library module specifically engineered for embedded devices. The module provides embedded systems developers with an easily understood software interface to enable bulk encryption and decryption, message digests, digital signature creation and validation and key generation and exchange. For full details see www.allegrosoft.com/ace.
Tested Configuration(s)
- Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate running on a Dell Optiplex 755
