The Datacryptor® Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 encryptor overcomes the complexities associated with Layer 3 IPSec encryptors over point-to-point applications, and protects the confidentiality of critical networks with the strongest commercially available cryptography. Unlike Layer 3 IPSec encryption which expands the size of packets and causes fragmentation problems, Layer 2 encryption introduces virtually no latency to the network. Because Layer 2 operate one layer below the network, the device is protocol independent and is not affected by changing network configurations. Consequently, the Layer 2 security solution is simpler and less expensive to manage as changes within the WAN do not affect the encryptor’s operation.
The Datacryptor Gigabit Ethernet encrypts 2 Gbps of data in real-time, securing the most demanding service requirements.
As users increasingly demand security without impacting performance, the Datacryptor Gigabit Ethernet meets the cryptographic needs of government and commercial enterprise customers converging voice, video, and data applications into point-to-point secure connections over more cost-effective high-bandwidth Wide Area Networks (WANs).
