Machine to Machine Communications

Allegro offers technology specifically built for the embedded market to deliver HTTP server capabilities. Used in over 250 million devices, RomPager^® is the industry’s leading embedded Web Server in the market. Not far behind in distribution, RomWebClient™ provides powerful embedded HTTP client capabilities allowing your network-enabled M2M device to query remote servers for the latest information.

TLS (Transport Layer Security) is used to create an authenticated and encrypted channel, often referred to as an encrypted tunnel, between two endpoints on an unsecured network. Allegro’s Secure Transport Layer toolkit (RomSTL™) provides both Client and Server support for TLS in addition to DTLS capabilities.

RomCert™ is a platform-independent implementation of the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) and makes embedding security certificate management into resource sensitive embedded systems and consumer electronics fast, easy and reliable while decreasing time to market.

SSH provides encrypted communications between hosts over an insecure network. Allegro’s SSH embedded Client and Server (RomSShell™) offers a range of client authentication options other than X.509 public-key certificates which require a fully functioning public key infrastructure.

Leverage 10+ man-years of XML product development in your embedded design with the use of Allegro’s field-proven RomXML^® toolkit. Allegro’s RomXML^® toolkit addresses the primary need for embedded XML support by efficiently translating between pre-defined C-language structures and XML-based representations.

Increasingly, device manufacturers are faced with building complex communications technologies into their products. Allegro’s RomXML Plus™ is a field-proven product that enables your embedded device to efficiently communicate with corporate IT servers or other embedded devices utilizing a range of protocols and industry-standard formats.

The Allegro EdgeAgent Suite makes embedding standards-based security protocols into resource sensitive embedded systems and consumer electronics fast, easy and reliable. The Allegro Cryptography Engine (ACE™) is a cryptographic library module specifically engineered to meet the critical needs of embedded computing systems in addition to fulfilling the requirements needed for FIPS level 2 validation. The module provides embedded systems developers with a common software interface to enable bulk encryption and decryption, message digests, digital signature creation and validation, and key generation and exchange. Suite B is an advanced standard for cryptography that defines algorithms and strengths for encryption, hashing, calculating digital signatures, and key exchange. ACE™ includes a platform-independent, government validated implementation of the NSA Suite B defined suite of cryptographic algorithms.
