Module description
The Datacryptor® Gig Ethernet and 10 Gig Ethernet are rack-mountable multi-chip standalone cryptographic modules designed to secure data transmissions across public Ethernet Layer 2 networks. The Gig Ethernet uses an SFP transceiver and the 10 Gig Ethernet uses a higher-speed XFP transceiver. The Datacryptor® employs an automatic key generation and exchange mechanism using X.509 v3 certificates and the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key agreement scheme. The algorithm used for securing data transmission is AES-256 GCM.
