Freescale's White Paper Series is focused on designing a variety of security appliances including Firewall/Virtual Private Network (VPN), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)/Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), anti-virus/anti-spam/content filtering and Unified Threat Management (UTM) based on the MPC8572E PowerQUICC III processor.

MPC8572 White Papers

• Designing Firewall/VPN with the PowerQUICC® III MPC8572E
  The stateful inspection firewall/IPSec VPN security gateway has been - and still is - the most critical piece of network security equipment for most enterprises. Firewall/VPN is a perimeter-defense device, typically deployed where the enterprise's internal network meets the open Internet. This white paper focuses on describing how the MPC8572E can be used for firewall/VPN design.
• Freescale/Kaspersky Accelerated Anti-Virus Solution Platform for OEM Vendors
  Accelerated Anti-Virus (Accelerated AV) is a high-performance network anti-virus solution platform jointly offered by Kaspersky® Lab (Kaspersky) and Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (Freescale) to OEM vendors. Accelerated AV is based on Freescale's MPC8572E PowerQUICC® III processor and Kaspersky's SafeStream signatures database. The platform enables the rapid development of competitive, high-performance, cost-effective network AV devices that are highly effective in the mitigation of the impact of dangerous and widespread malware (viruses, worms and trojans) and malware outbreaks
• Designing Application-Aware Networking Equipment with the PowerQUICC® III MPC8572E
  In this white paper, we will use the term "application-aware networking" to refer to the function of network nodes processing application layer protocol and content - in addition to packet header - in order to perform the networking features they are designed to provide. This white paper describes how high-performance, cost-effective application-aware networking equipment can be designed with the MPC8572E.
• Designing IDS/IPS with PowerQUICC® III MPC8572E
  The trend towards application content security leads to the increased importance of the Intrusion Detection System (IDS), which in turn is metamorphosing to the Intrusion Protection System (IPS). For enterprises deploying UTM or ISR instead of individual network security devices, the IDS/IPS function is an integral and vital component.
• Designing Unified Threat Management systems with the PowerQUICC® III MPC8572E
  This white paper describes how high-performance, cost-effective Universal Threat Management (UTM) equipment can be designed with the MPC8572E with an integrated pattern matcher. By integrating the functionalities previously found in multiple security and networking devices, the UTM enables the same level of network security at much lower capital and operating costs – there are fewer devices to purchase and to maintain.
