The company was later headquartered in Los Gatos, California, and had offices in North America, Europe and Asia. It designed and sold security processors.[2] It was acquired by Exar in 2009. History1971-2008: Founding and early yearsHifn was founded in 1996 as a spin-out of the semiconductor company Stac, Inc. It held its initial public offering in December 1998. The company's stock was traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol HIFN.[3] Hifn was the first company to offer a processor with integrated encryption and compression in 1998, and followed this in 1999 with the fastest security processor for VPNs. In 2000, Hifn announced an Intelligent Packet Processor - a security co-processor capable of not just performing raw algorithm processing, but of modifying the complete packet, allowing their processors to transform an IP packet into an IPSec packet in a single pass in the security processor with only the policy and IPSec stack being required on the host CPU. They announced a security processor featuring the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm in 2001. In 2004 they followed on from their packet processor with an IPSec protocol processor capable of performing IPSec and Internet Key Exchange processing with no CPU intervention. They also adapted this processor for the storage area network market, for applications such as iSCSI. A secondary offering was priced on April 12, 2004.[4] Hifn also offered security processors for secure VoIP and WiMax applications, and marketed then for "application-aware" flow classifiers and search engines. In earlier 2004, Hifn acquired part of IBM Network Processor assets in addition to PowerNP's intellectual property license. Since then Hifn became the sole vendor of PowerNP (IBM code: Rainier) to some telecom/datacom equipment manufacturers.{{which |date=September 2016}} Roubik Gregorian became chief executive in February 2005.[5] In April 2005 Exar bought optical networking assets of Infineon Technologies.[6] In February 2007 Gregorian resigned.[7] In August 2007, Exar acquired Sipex.
