Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
Description
The Datacryptor® 100 Mbps Ethernet Layer 2 is a rack-mountable multi-chip standalone cryptographic module designed to secure data in transit across public Ethernet Layer 2 networks. The device uses 100BaseT ports to connect the host and public sides of the network. Datacryptor® employs an automatic key generation and exchange mechanism using X.509v.3 certificates and the Diffie-Hellman key agreement scheme. The algorithm used is AES-256. Configuration and management of the Datacryptor® 100 Mbps units is done through a secure remote management interface application also using the AES algorithm.
Other Algorithms
Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 80 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant)
