Centralized control for vast network infrastructures.

A High-Performance, Purpose-built Integrated Security Solution

The SafeEnterprise™ SONET Encryptor is a high performance, purpose-built integrated security solution designed to secure SONET networks at speeds up to 2.4Gbps.

Overview

Sonet Encryptor ImageThe SafeEnterprise SONET/SDH 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 SafeEnterprise SONET/SDH 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), and OC48/STM16 (2.4Gbps) SONET networks. The SafeEnterprise SONET Encryptor can be centrally controlled or managed across multiple remote stations using SafeNet's SafeEnterprise™ 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 network.

The SafeEnterprise SONET/SDH Encryptor supports both path and line SONET/SDH encryption at various rates and at distances up to 40 kilometers. 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.
