Elliptic ’s software Ellipsys passes the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) cryptographic algorithm validation suite two months after the certification of the company’s hardware cores. This latest validation further extends the IP service provider’s industry leadership in NIST validation of its products, the company notes. “Our customers have emphasized the need for NIST validation across the entire portfolio of products we offer,” says Al Hawtin, VP of marketing and business development. “By extending the NIST certification …we can offer our customers a complete solution that has been rigorously validated by an independent third party lab.”
