Sun Unveils Sizzle, World's Smallest Secure Web Server

Sun has just announced the debut of Sizzle (from SSSL, or Slim SSL), the world's smallest secure web server. Sizzle runs on the Berkeley/Crossbow "motes" -- battery-powered, wireless devices equipped with an 8-bit microprocessor, 128KB of FLASH and a mere 4KB of RAM. Sizzle implements SSL, and uses Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), which has been chosen by the National Security Agency as the next generation public-key cryptographic technology for protecting sensitive U.S. Government information.
