Description
The CN9000 Series are high-speed hardware encryption platforms that secure data over optical Ethernet networks. The models included are the CN9100 and CN9120 100G Ethernet Encryptors, operating at line rates of 100Gb/s with pluggable transceivers to support a variety of optical network interfaces. Data privacy is provided by FIPS approved AES CTR algorithms.
Allowed Algorithms
Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength); EC Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides between 128 and 256 bits of encryption strength); NDRNG; RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 or 150 bits of encryption strength)
