SanBlaze Technology Delivers Fibre
Channel Target Emulation System 07/15/2004 03:24 AM
The SANBlaze VirtuaLUN Fibre Channel Target Emulation System delivers an extremely cost effective approach to Fibre Channel device development and testing. The VirtuaLUN can emulate hundreds of Fibre Channel disk drives for read/write performance testing environments, with no initiator side software changes required. The VirtuaLUN is the ideal tool for Fibre Channel HBA, switch and infrastructure development and testing in a real world, wire speed environment. The VirtuaLUN system reduces the need to deploy large farms of physical "scratch" disks, providing high performance, non-volatile disk media at a fraction of the cost of physical disks.

Broadcom Says EZ Does It

Broadcom Says EZ Does It 05/03/2004 02:20 AM
Broadcom introduces shortcut for creating strong Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) keys without the fuss of memorizing long base-16 numbers: The Wall Street Journal broke the news embargo early with a brief item (sub. req.) about SecureEZSetup, Broadcom's new method of guiding home users to create a WPA encryption key without having any technical knowledge. SecureEZSetup, despite the unwieldy name, is a simple two-step wizard in which users choose two out of four personal questions to answer from which a full-length 16-byte WPA key is generated. The user can then answer the questions the same way on another computer or enter the hexadecimal key for non-EZ systems for compatibility. New or additional setupChoosing and answering questionsResulting key The four questions are mother's maiden name, birthday, the name of a first pet, or the name of the street on which an answerer grew up. Clever users can invent other answers to questions, of course, as long as they keep them consistent, such as using Einstein's birthday or a spouse's first bet--or even entering an unrelated word for mother's maiden name. The first time you set up a router with SecureEZSetup, the key is stored in the router's configuration and in the local wireless adapter. The setup wizard allows you to save and print the information you entered, including the long hexadecimal key, for reference in configuring addition machines. The setup also assigns a unique SSID (network name) to the Wi-Fi gateway based on that gateway's MAC address. Jeff Abramowitz, senior director of marketing for wireless LAN technology, said that their customers, which integrate Broadcom chips into consumer and enterprise products, would start rolling out EZ into products as soon as in the next month, but more likely in upgrades destined for before the back-to-school period. He declined to say which companies initially plan support. Abramowitz said that the algorithm that drives the setup would be made available to incorporate into a standard, and that the front-end would be backward compatible for all of their shipping equipment. Because the algorithm hasn't been open to public scrutiny, the possibility remains that a cracker could discover a method to precompute in finite time all or most possible keys based on all reasonable length answers to the four questions in each combination. Because WPA keys can be forced out of a router in their encrypted form and examined later offline, if this number of precomputed keys...

Broadcom Goes Higher Speed

Broadcom Goes Higher Speed 01/09/2004 09:52 PM
Broadcom introduced an 802.11g chip at CES that promises to burst up to 125 Mbps: Buffalo Technology also introduced the first product to use the chip, the AirStation Router-g. Broadcom said it achieved the performance gain with technology that closes the timing gap between data packets. The chips use just one channel to transmit. Broadcom says the chips are compatible with standard 802.11g gear and won't cause service degradation on nearby networks. Broadcom is behind many of its competitors that have already introduced higher speed chips. Atheros offers a chip that can burst to 108 Mbps used by Netgear and D-Link. That gear, which employs several methods to achieve the higher throughput including channel bonding, degrades the performance of nearby Broadcom networks. It doesn't have negative affects on all nearby networks, though....
