Photonic ‘Firewall on a Chip’ Gets EU Funding

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
IPSWICH, England, Aug. 2, 2006 -- European Union funding of 2 million euros ($2.5 million) has been announced for a new three-year project to develop a reconfigurable photonic "firewall on a chip." Called WISDOM, (wirespeed security domains using optical monitoring), the new system will be designed to plug what its developers said is a major gap in global network security -- an inability to perform security checks and algorithms directly at high optical data communication rates. WISDOM will complement current electronic security techniques with optical information filtering operating at wirespeed, and is being developed...Read full article
