Mocana's comprehensive, high-performance SSL and SSH developers' suites -- NanoSSL and NanoSSH -- are now available as integrated components of Freescale Semiconductor's MQX™ real-time operating system (RTOS), giving embedded developers access to fully supported commercial cryptography solutions from directly within Freescale's existing configuration tools.

Purpose-built for resource-constrained and high-performance device environments, NanoSSL and NanoSSH are super-small -- at less than one-fifth the size of typical SSL/SSH clients -- and super-fast, with throughput typically outperforming open source packages by a factor of 2x or better. And now, integrated into Freescale's Processor Expert™ configuration tool, NanoSSL and NanoSSH give developers easy control of implementation and customization, with no previous crypto expertise required. Plus, NanoSSL and NanoSSH use government-certified, FIPS 140-2 level 1 validated cryptographic algorithms, and fully FIPS validated binaries of the software are available for many platforms as an upgrade from Mocana.

Customers pay a one-time “unlocking” fee of $199 to access the code, after which they can distribute unlimited binary copies of the Mocana software for use on most Freescale CPU platforms at no additional charge. For more details visit NanoSSH for Freescale MQX or NanoSSL for Freescale MQX.

Advanced Upgrades Available from Mocana
The majority of Freescale customers will be able to build the security features they need with the bundled versions of the NanoSSL and NanoSSH clients. But more advanced MQX RTOS customers can also purchase upgrades directly from Mocana to access a variety of professional cryptographic features, including government certified FIPS 140-2 level 1 binaries, NSA "Suite B" and elliptic curve cryptography, TLS 1.2 support, sophisticated X.509 certificate management and massively-scalable server versions of NanoSSL and NanoSSH suitable for high-traffic carrier environments. Contact sales@mocana.com for information about available upgrades.

With Mocana's NanoSSL and NanoSSH security software built-in, Freescale MQX designers everywhere -- and millions of installed MQX devices -- now have easy access to comprehensive, professionally supported cryptographic solutions.

About Freescale MQX
The Freescale MQX real time operating system (RTOS) offers leading edge software technology for embedded designs based on Freescale processors and microcontrollers. Unlike general-purpose operating systems designed for desktop systems, the Freescale MQX RTOS was designed for speed and size efficiency in embedded systems. Freescale MQX software offers powerful, preemptive real-time performance with optimized context switch and interrupt times, enabling fast, highly predictable response times. Its small, configurable size conserves memory space for embedded applications, and it can be configured to take as little as 6 KB of ROM, including kernel, interrupts, semaphores, queues and memory manager.
