Harris Corporation Receives NSA Certification for Sierra(TM) II
Programmable Cryptographic Module ROCHESTER, N.Y., Sept. 22
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), a leading
supplier of software-defined tactical radios for worldwide defense
forces, has received certification from the National Security
Agency (NSA) for its Sierra(TM) II programmable cryptographic
module. Sierra II is now NSA-certified for the protection of voice
and data traffic up through the Top Secret/SCI level. Harris has
been highly successful in providing Type 1 NSA certified embeddable
security products to the U.S. Government. Sierra II is a very small
cryptographic device that can be embedded in a variety of voice and
data products that require encryption of classified information
prior to transmission or storage. Sierra II also performs advanced
key management functions. The ability to reprogram Sierra II for
different encryption needs greatly simplifies equipment upgrades
for the user. Sierra II is targeted at applications requiring
small, low-power, low-cost cryptographic solutions. It is ideally
suited for portable (battery operated) devices requiring high-grade
security. "Harris continues to be a leader in the design and
manufacture of high- grade, embeddable encryption products," states
Dick Rzepkowski, Harris RF Communications Division vice president,
Government Systems and Programs. "Sierra II is ideal for a range of
encryption applications and secure wireless LANs, including many
U.S. crypto modernization efforts." Sierra II is targeted at
securing the critical communications infrastructure of the U.S.
Government and is ideal for numerous Homeland Security
applications. Due to its small size and low-power requirements,
Sierra II is a leading candidate for military sensor programs,
UAVs, munitions security, and other key systems that require the
highest levels of information security. Harris RF Communications
