Module description
CERTIFAX 3000 secures sensitive facsimile communications from inadvertent or intentional disclosure. CERTIFAX ensures faxes get to the intended recipient every time, that the contents are never disclosed to unauthorized parties, that the sender is who it claims to be, and that the message is always kept private and unaltered. CERTIFAX provides two-way authentication using Certicom's Elliptic Curve Cryptography, and strong encryption using Triple DES. CERTIFAX's secure mailbox memory provides storage and retrieval for incoming faxes, and CERTIFAX can support up to 99 secure Virtual Private Fax Networks. The CF3102 also implements a non-FIPS mode for communications with Certicom's Legacy Fax Secret 1000 fax encryptor.
