CPU Technology Inc. (CPU Tech) in Pleasanton, Calif., is introducing the Acalis Sentry security server that helps developers encrypt embedded software and configure anti-tamper and firewall settings in secure processor technology. The Acalis Sentry secure server encrypts embedded applications and configures security features in the CPU Tech Acalis CPU872 secure processors, which protect critical program information (CPI) as required by DOD Instruction 5200.39. The Acalis Sentry configures CPU872 security features, such as on-chip firewall settings, tamper detection responses, tamper detection forensic settings, and target CPU872 seeds and keys. The secure server also encrypts software images for use with Acalis CPU872 secure processors using industry-standard and proprietary encryption algorithms. Software developers use these features to protect software binaries and related data. Acalis Sentry enables the development team to compartmentalize the target CPU872’s security configuration by giving access only to the security engineer associated with a particular project. Once configured and locked, the server can be located on isolated networks, internal company intranets, or even the Internet because all sensitive communications with an Acalis Sentry are secured.
