F5 Networks teams with NTT DoCoMo on wireless security
July 3, 2003
F5 Networks, the provider of Application Traffic Management products,
announced that the F5 BIG-IP product will provide Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) client authentication and SSL acceleration for data encryption and
decryption for mobile communications company, NTT DoCoMo's Freedom of
Multimedia Access (FOMA) 3G phones.
NTT DoCoMo's new client authentication service, FirstPass service for
FOMA phones, ensures high security for remote access to the enterprise
intranet, individual authentication for online shopping, trading via mobile
phone, and general mobile Internet access.
This new NTT DoCoMo service employs F5's BIG-IP 5000 series as the dedicated
application traffic management device to provide high-speed data encryption
and decryption for SSL transactions. Due to the large amount of processing
power required for SSL encryption and decryption, server performance can
be severely affected. Using F5's SSL Accelerator this process is removed
from servers reducing server overheads and reducing costs. BIG-IP can
be configured to check client certificate validity; when BIG-IP identifies
the validity of a client certificate, it directs the client to the valid
content servers or provides clients who have an invalid certificate to
learn how to obtain a valid one.
"We have spent a considerable amount of time validating our SSL client
authentication service with NTT DoCoMo's FirstPass service to ensure the
best possible solution, and are happy that Japan's largest and leading
provider of mobile technology chose F5 to ensure their solution is robust
and safe," said Tim Goodwin, vice president of F5 Japan operations. "This
validates our Application Traffic Management story, whereby our products
are the connection between the network and the application, in this case
FirstPass."
F5's BIG-IP is widely used in Japan as the leading provider of Application
Traffic Management and SSL acceleration from mobile to Enterprise intranet
and Internet systems.
