Cubic Global Tracking Solutions mist(TM) Technology Receives Algorithm Validation by NIST
Cubic's mist(TM) Crypto Module Evaluated and Meets Stringent Security Requirements
(firmenpresse) - VIENNA, VA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/01/12 -- , the asset visibility solutions provider of Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB), received cryptographic algorithm validations from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the company's mist™ technology that is utilized in Cubic's mesh asset tags, mobile mesh gateways and fixed mesh gateways.
The Cubic mist™ AES-CCM and mist™ DRBG algorithms were recently added to the NIST algorithm validation lists. These two algorithms are the key to implementing encryption systems meeting Federal Information Processing Standards 140-2 requirements (FIPS 140-2).
Cubic's mist™ algorithms have been implemented on Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI's) CC2530 system-on-chip (SoC) hardware, which supports the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless standard. The cryptographic algorithms are incorporated in Cubic's mist™ Crypto module, which implements an ultra-low power, robust, mesh radio network targeted for logistics applications. This validation means the Cubic mist™ Crypto module meets the standards and guidelines for information security.
"Information security is a crucial prerequisite to Cubic Global Tracking Solutions' customers that employ our mesh technology, called mist™. We understand the importance of security and place a high value on making sure our technology not only meets, but exceeds our customer's requirements," said Mary Ann Wagner, president of Cubic Global Tracking Solutions.
"The secure connection of devices to the Internet of things is of increasing importance for supply chain management. Texas Instruments is pleased to work with Cubic to provide a secure wireless solution for logistics management," said Mark Grazier, program manager for wireless sensor networks and worldwide third party developer network, Low-Power RF at TI.
