*** UTStarcom Integrates Hifn Security Processor into Its Total
Control 2000 Wireless Access Platform
(January 28)

Hifn announced that UTStarcom, Inc. has integrated Hifn's HIPP
7854 security processor into its Total Control 2000 wireless
access platform.

The UTStarcom Total Control 2000 wireless access platform
provides third-generation cdma2000 PDSN wireless data services
and applications to subscribers.

The HIPP 7854 used in UTStarcom's Total Control 2000 wireless
access platform performs header and trailer processing,
compression, encryption, authentication, public key and random
number generation. 500Mbps is achieved on full IPsec protocol
processing using 3DES or AES and SHA. Effective data rates are
higher when LZS(R) or MPPC compression is used, with those
engines running at up to 500 and 700Mbps. The HIPP 7854
processor can set up 300 IPsec Quick Mode connections per second,
with support for up to 2,048-bit public keys natively.

The HIPP 7854 processor uses either a 32/64-bit, 66 MHz PCI bus
or an interface that is often used in subsystems using multiple
7854s or for connection to a network processor. The local memory
interface is over a 32 or 64-bit SDRAM bus. A total of 512K
simultaneous IPsec security associations are supported. HIPP
supported algorithms include 3DES, DES, AES and ARC4 encryption,
SHA-1 and MD5 authentication, LZS and MPPC compression.
Protocols supported include IPsec, SSL, TLS, PPP and PPTP.
