Bump in the Wire Wide Area Network Encryption |
- 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 Router/Bridge does not require modification.
The Black•Link is also able to operate at the Network Layer 3. The Black•Link's integrated Router can be configured to only encrypt the Routes to Intranet Sites. The packets that default to the Internet are not encrypted.

The Black•Link eliminates major hurdles to implementing encryption especially in contrast to the overhead, latency, and complexities of implementing a VPN encryption configuration in the WAN Router. The cost of reprogramming a WAN router can easily exceed the cost of the Black•Link.
Automated key management configurations ensure timely key transitions and eliminate the operational and maintenance costs of managing an encrypted network with manual key distribution. |

| Encrypt Critical Infrastructure Communication Links |
Black•Link Encrypts Critical Infrastructure SCADA communication links to prevent tampering. The Communication links that are used to connect Control systems to controller for applications such as GAS Valve control are able to be spoofed. End to End link encryption eliminates this vulnerability. Black•Link work on point-to-point and point-to-multipoint SCADA polling applications links.

| The Black•Link is a cable swap and connect installation for point to point layer 2 links. Epic Ease-of-implementation. |
