Anybody buying a box like this is undoubtledly going to integrate it into their
|
|
crypto infrastructure. What's the point of putting in a box like this if it's
|
|
not an active participant in your security framework?
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Blah, blah, blah. The marketing FUD gets compounded by the Beberg FUD, talk
|
|
about 20x bloat.
|
|
|
|
> Again, see above... they _are_ claiming to decode the crypto...
|
|
|
|
What gives you the impression that's what they're doing? That's not what the
|
|
text says. It's largely fluff anyway.

|
|
|
|
Uhhh, fundamentally it's all machine code. Kelly's comment seems more like
|
|
drivel from a clueless marketroid than anything of technical concern.
|
|
|
|
Having what appears to be a silicon XML router would be a cool thing. Having
|
|
one integrated with your crypto environment would kick ass. Let it
|
|
deserialize/decrypt/repackage the XML before handing it off to the app servers.
|
|
The question, of course, is does it work with actual applications in the field
|
|
without tremendously reworking them. Somehow I doubt it...
