Module description
The Datacryptor® SONET/SDH OC-3/12/48/192C are rack-mountable multi-chip standalone cryptographic modules which facilitate secure data transmission across public SONET or SDH backbone networks. The devices use standard SFP/XFP optical transceivers for their host and network connections. The Datacryptor® offers user verification services via DSA enabled X.509 v.3 certificates, key management based on a Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Scheme, and AES encryption of data passing over public networks. Management of the Datacryptor is performed via a remote management interface.
Approved algorithms
Other algorithms
Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 80 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant)
