Acalis Sentry and Supply Chain Security Mkt-WP-013 Supply Chain Security is a business element with very broad definitions and risk factors that are dificult to characterize. It can include insurable events like theft, spillage and loss, and also include political events like trade embargoes and economic events like unexpected spikes in commodity pricing. However, the most serious Supply Chain Security issues today for developers of sensitive embedded systems are now from malicious sources, like insider threats and sabotage from political or economic competitors. Awareness of this possibility is being driven by specific events like the discovery of cloned Cisco routers by the FBI in 2008, and the forensic examination of the Stuxnet worm in the Middle East in 2010.

Acalis Secure Processor for Suite B Applications Mkt-WP-009 The Acalis Secure Processor is an excellent fit for primary Suite B communications systems for a variety of reasons. Suite B equipment is a primary candidate for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) to allied countries; FMS sales are also a significant market for the anti-tamper capabilities of the Acalis Secure Processor.

Secure Boot Requirements and Capabilities in Embedded Systems Mkt-WP-010 The number one vulnerability source in embedded processors is the intial boot phase of the device. Solutions to the problem of insecure boot processes vary enormously depending on the protection requirements of the system. Rather than relying on solutions that title themselves 'Secure Boot', smart engineers will learn to make more informed decisions on how much end-system security they need, and match that to the various secure boot capabilities on the market.

Enabling Foreign Military Sales with the Acalis® Secure Processor Mkt-WP-008 A toughening regulatory climate has made the process of exporting defense articles more challenging. On 20 April 2010, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced initiatives to overhaul export control laws to more effectively manage technology export, but the initiatives will take time to implement. The simplest approach to enabling your system for Foreign Military Sales is a primary design with an Acalis Secure Processor, and a disciplined approach to isolating CPI algorithms and operations to the Acalis device.

Secure Anchor Point Mkt-WP-007 The world today is a very large and complex social network. With identity theft and other electronic crimes on the rise, an important part of life, for all of us, is knowing 'who to trust'. There are no hard and fast rules for how to do this. Establishing trust is all part of the learning process, based on observed behavior and feedback on reliability.

Secure Hardware as an Element of Cyber Security Mkt-WP-006 One of the primary objectives of a recent White House review of internet security is to promote the user awareness of the information threats to the United States and to individual citizens. This awareness thrust is also important in demonstrating that information security is a top national priority.

Security Separation of Multi-Core Processors Mkt-WP-004 Tools available today for separating kernel operations include virtual machines and hard 'air gaps' in security ASICs. With the Acalis Secure Processor, a new tool is available with configurable core firewall settings.
