Module description
The SafeNet Ethernet Encryptor Branch Office provides data privacy and access control for connections between vulnerable public and private networks. It employs a FIPS-approved AES algorithm and can be deployed in 10 Megabit Ethernet networks. The encryptor can be centrally controlled or managed across multiple remote stations using SafeNet's Security Management Center (SMC), a SNMPv3-based security management system.
Approved algorithms
Other algorithms
Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 80 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant); RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 80 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant); Camellia; SEED
