San Mateo, CA-based Certicom also announced expanded customer support

days.


The Certicom Secure line of products includes four primary offerings: Security
Builder 2.0, a software development kit for implementing security in software
applications; cryptographic plug-ins for industry standard cryptographic
frameworks from Intel/OpenGroup and Microsoft, as well as plug-ins supporting
Java and PKCS-11; embedded systems for popular small-device processors such as
the Motorola 6805, Intel 8051, and ARM; and Certicom’s integrated circuit
designs that deliver ECC technology in silicon.


Initial customers include Motorola, 3Com/Palm Computing, VeriFone, Diebold,
