NanoSSL is Mocana's super fast, super small SSL/TLS solution specifically designed to speed product development while providing best-in-class device security services for resource-constrained environments
- NanoSSL is open-standards based, extensible, extremely small footprint, platform-agnostic and includes an optional government-certified FIPS 140-2 level-1- validated crypto core
- NanoSSL includes a full-featured key generator and certificate management client, and even supports Government Suite B crypto algorithms and the new RFC standard for TLS 1.2
- Best of all it's surprisingly affordable: your NanoSSL total cost of ownership will usually be substantially less than that of open source
- SSL and Device Environments
- SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) authenticates endpoints and encrypts channels to provide session privacy and security on the Internet
- SSL operates at transport layer in the OSI stack and provides secured data transport to applications
- It supports peer negotiation for algorithm selection, public key based exchange of secret session keys and X.509 certificates
- SSL/TLS is the world's most widely implemented security protocol
- Typically networking OEMs used SSL to provide secured management access to the devices like switches, routers, access points, DSL modems, etc.
- But with the Internet of Things, several new types of devices are connected to IP networksmedical equipment, industrial sensors, smart grid devices, camcorders, and many other embedded devices
- All of these devices need secured management access to transport data securely over the unsecured Internet
- NanoSSL is the answer
- NanoSSL provides easy to use APIs for integration with applications like web servers and browsers
- Its certificate management module allows it to fetch or renew SSL certificates, check the status of SSL certificates using CRLs or to query a Certificate Authority (CA) or certificate chain
