Santa Clara, CA — (PR excerpt) — Transmeta Corp. today announced that it has received first silicon for a Crusoe TM5800 processor with new, proprietary technologies that enable current and future Crusoe processors to increase security for wireless computing, protect sensitive data, deter intellectual property theft, and deliver tamper-resistant, x86 storage environments.

Transmeta's Crusoe processors and accompanying Code Morphing software, with the support of third-party technologies, provide robust security features to address emerging requirements for securing sensitive data and intellectual property. Embedding these features in the main processor provides increased security over existing multi-chip solutions.

Transmeta's new security technologies are planned for customer availability in the second half of 2003. These technologies include secure hidden storage of confidential information, encryption acceleration, and a flexible processor architecture that can easily be extended to support new features and industry standards, such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
