The Engage Black•Link provides organizations with the ability to Encrypt sensitive Voice, Data and Video.

The Black•Link splices in an AES hardened payload encryptor between an existing WAN Router/Bridge and the egress point of the Circuit. The configuration of the Existing Router/Bridge does not require modification.

The Black•Link is a Serial Data Link AES Encryptor that encrypts serial protocols such as SDLC, HDLC, BDLC, LAPD/PRI, SS7, X.25, Point to Point Protocol and Frame Relay. The Encryption is done at the Data Link Layer 2 or at the Network Layer 3. The Black•Link has models with T1, E1, RS232, RS530, RS449, V.35 or X.21 interfaces with over a decade of proven interoperability with:

                                               • WAN Bridges and Routers
                                               • SCADA Terminals
                                               • Data Multiplexers

Encryption protects vital information from eavesdropping, tampering and regulatory compliance violations. Black•Links secure the Critical Infrastructure utilized by government operations, banking and finance, telecommunications, emergency services, gas and oil, electric and energy, water, and transportation.

Black•Links ensure the confidentiality and integrity of Intranets, Remote Management Interfaces, and SCADA with the strongest commercially available cryptography. Black•Links provide a secure and cost-effective solution for Voice/Video/Data encryption that is compatible with VoIP, Video over IP, Multicast, and other latency-sensitive applications for:

• Multisite Competitive Businesses
• Department of Defense
• National, State and Local Governments
• Public Safety Networks
• Homeland Security
• Utility SCADA Networks

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is utilized by the Black•Link to protect electronic data. The AES algorithm is a symmetric block cipher that encrypts and decrypts information. AES is a FIPS approved symmetric encryption algorithm that may be used by U.S. Government organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information.
