SafeNet SONET Encryptor
High performance, purpose-built integrated security solution designed to secure SONET/SDH networks at speeds up to 10Gbps
The SafeNet SONET Encryptor has been designed to integrate transparently
and simply into the SONET/SDH network architecture. High-speed throughput
and extremely low latency make it ideal for high-speed data and time-sensitive
voice and video applications.
Users value a single solution providing scalable performance and seamless
end-to-end integration to deliver improved network operations and performance
without compromising security, and the SafeNet SONET Encryptor
is the perfect solution. It employs the federally endorsed AES algorithm
with the flexibility to be deployed in OC3/STM1 (155Mbps), OC12/STM4 (622Mbps),
OC48/STM16 (2.4Gbps), and OC192/STM64 (10Gbps) SONET/SDH networks. The SafeNet SONET Encryptor
can be centrally controlled or managed across multiple remote stations
using SafeNet's SafeNet™ Security Management Center (SMC),
which uses SNMPv3, the first secure version of SNMP. SMC management
is available via an Ethernet port or in-band on the SONET/SDH network.
The SafeNet SONET Encryptor supports both path and line SONET/SDH
encryption at various rates and at distances up to 40 kilometers (OC48/STM16 Encryptor) or 80 kilometers
(OC192/STM64 Encryptor). For added security, each encrypted circuit uses an independent encryption
key pair. In addition, section, line, and path overhead bytes can be
selectively encrypted, zeroised, regenerated, or bypassed.
SafeNet SONET Encryptor is a key component of SafeNet’s comprehensive enterprise data protection solution to reduce the cost and complexity of regulatory compliance, data privacy, and information risk management. For more information, visit www.safenet-inc.com/EDP.
