"According to the U.S. Commerce Department, intellectual property theft is estimated to top $250 billion annually, and also costs the United States approximately 750,000 jobs, while the International Chamber of Commerce puts the global fiscal loss at more than $600 billion a year. But both estimates appear to be woefully underestimated; by some other estimates, there was over $251 billion worth of intellectual property lost or illegal property seized in August 2005 alone."

Communications Security

Today communities depend on reliable electronic communications. Whether the communications path is as short as the wires between two chips on a circuit board, or as long as the Internet spanning distant continents, communication underpins nearly everything we do.

This dependence took a long time to develop. Unprotected isolated devices slowly became interconnected and interdependent. As this interconnectivity exploded, strong hardware encryption remained too slow and expensive to be widely adopted.

We have inherited a complex infrastructure of devices with vastly inadequate security. Companies have been losing billions of dollars in intellectual property theft. Legitimate sales are undercut by reverse engineering, copying, and piracy. Compounding these problems, compromised databases expose the personal information of thousands to millions of people every year. These problems threaten the stability of the future global community. There is a growing need for trust and security by individuals (citizen and consumer) and organizations (companies and government administrations).

To protect our business and infrastructure, we need to secure exchanges of information between users and systems. To achieve this, we have engineered an affordable solution to systematically protect electronic links, from the shortest to the longest.

It is time to start embedding security into the heart of our devices and appliances.

Ubiquitous Hardware Security

Protecting the heart of our devices requires a power-efficient, area-efficient, no compromise solution. It requires more than a privacy-only technology. Secure systems require an efficient privacy technology that simultaneously provides high assurance of the integrity of information delivered.

Only VEST offers this and other features required, in one compact module, to build a secure crypto system such as secure expansion and compression of data and key material.

Only VEST technologies offer the privacy and integrity with large security margins and demanding performance characteristics that can make ubiquitous on-chip encryption economically viable today on even the tiniest or fastest chips.

VEST's robust solutions range from the worlds smallest passive RFID suitable cryptographic solution through to high-performance commercially viable power-efficient 20+ Gigabit/s applications.

VEST is the only viable solution offering a dynamic strategy to meet the global challenge of the next generation of secure communications and intellectual property protection.
