FPGA-based solution offers accelerated, robust security that is
both cost-effective and future-ready
Ethernity Networks (AIM: ENET.L), a leading innovator of network
processing technology and products, today introduced its ENET VPN
Gateway, enabling the aggregation of multiple virtual private
network (VPN) tunnels. The ENET IPSec VPN solution fully offloads
security functions from the CPU to the FPGA and uses Host Bypass to
provide a more robust security than competitive solutions at a
lower solution cost.
The ENET VPN Gateway integrates widely-used open source
Libreswan security management software into Ethernity’s fully
programmable FPGA-based security appliance and accelerates it to
enable encrypted connectivity over the untrusted network. Libreswan
offers a popular, affordable software solution that avoids vendor
lock-in. Moreover, the FPGA within the ENET VPN Gateway appliance
offers programmability that ensures future readiness for
integration of other existing open source software as well as new
flow monitoring functions, security protocols, and crypto
algorithms.
The new Host Bypass feature isolates the traffic, packet
editing, and encryption exclusively to the FPGA, entirely bypassing
the CPU, which is vulnerable to breaches. The host can be
authorized to receive or monitor traffic as needed, but by default,
the FPGA handles all networking, flow monitoring, and security
functionalities.
“Our network and security technology is populated on FPGA SoCs
for embedded products, on FPGA SmartNICs, and now packaged with
software to deliver a complete IPSec VPN appliance, offering a
ready to deploy solution to shorten time-to-market,” said Eugene
Zetserov, Vice President of Product Marketing at Ethernity
Networks. “This appliance delivers secure, powerful, high-speed
connectivity based on the combination of well-known open source
software and our ACE-NIC FPGA SmartNIC, which enables enterprises,
carriers, and cloud providers to deploy and manage their next
generation networks at scale.”
The ENET IPSec VPN Gateway can be extended to serve Internet of
Things (IoT) deployments by aggregating the numerous low-throughput
VPN tunnels that are required and can also be easily incorporated
as a subset of a high-speed SD-WAN infrastructure, providing
significant acceleration of the IPSec security therein.
“Ethernity’s new ENET VPN Gateway is an innovative product that
integrates open source security code with FPGA SmartNIC data
acceleration,” said Gorkem Yigit, Senior Analyst at Analysys Mason.
“Operators, enterprises, and cloud providers are embracing
software-defined, automated and cloud-native networks to respond
quickly and cost-effectively to constantly evolving customer
demands. To build differentiated and future-proof WAN, cloud and
IoT connectivity, they need high performance, programmable, secure
and open-source enabled solutions such as ENET VPN Gateway.”
