Nokia Networks expands utilization of SSH Communications Security's IPSec Technology in securing mobile network solutions
SSH Communications Security (HEX:SSH1V), a world-leading developer of Internet security solutions, today announced that Nokia Networks is expanding its long-term relationship with SSH and license agreement for the SSH IPSEC Express™ Toolkit in order to enable strong, reliable security in its mobile networking solutions.
Based on SSH's advanced cryptographic technology, SSH IPSEC Express is the leading IPSec (Internet Security Protocol) implementation for developers building strong, interoperable and cost-effective network security solutions. SSHs technology suits both existing IP networks as well as next-generation IPv6-based mobile networks, fully supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 specifications while providing an easy upgrade path to the newer protocol version.
Telecommunications operators have an increasing need to supply their customers with strong network security, as mobile services for consumers delivered through GSM, GPRS or 3G networks are becoming more complex and mission-critical", said Tatu Ylönen, President and CEO of SSH Communications Security Corp."SSH's position as one of the first players in the industry to offer complete IPv6 support is widely recognized. We are pleased to broaden our long-standing relationship with Nokia to deliver reliable and secure mobile networking solutions for their products."
The IPSec protocol is a widely adopted IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard for protecting IP traffic using cryptography on the packet level. SSHs IPSec technology adds scalable, strong security to mobile IP networks without limiting its flexibility to enable new types of mobile business opportunities.
