Mocana Embedded Network Security - eg3 Tech Choice

Mocana is proud to partner with eg3.com to bring you this tech choice microsite on embedded network security. "Tech Choice is all about identifying the important new products and technologies," says Senior Editor, Jason McDonald. "In our age of connected networks and devices, from verticals as far apart as retail, medical, industrial, and military/aerospace, the security of both devices and networks is critical to successful and safe design."

To help designers learn about these issues, Mocana is proud to offer the following technical white papers on network security, for free download :

Building Firewalls for Embedded Systems

This paper explains more about firewalls, and then provides information specific to the embedded system environment, including best practices for building embedded firewalls that are inexpensive, efficient and effective.

Understanding Crypto Performance in Embedded Systems

Cryptography is the art and science of encoding and decoding (enciphering/deciphering) data so that outside parties cannot decode the data.

Implementing SSH in Embedded Systems

Earlier network-related programs, such as ftp (for file transfers), telnet (for remote logins), and rsh (for remote command execution) lack a basic security mechanism: encryption. Without encryption, users of such programs are vulnerable to eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other attacks as they inadvertently expose all transmitted data, including passwords, to almost anyone who's interested. That's why SSH was developed.

Securing Android & Open Handset Platforms

The new Android platform and operating system for phones is generating a lot of excitement from developers and consumers alike. Despite the buzz, though, there is a significant barrier to widespread enterprise adoption of the Android platform: its lack of enterprise-grade security tools.
