Engage Ships Gigabit Speed Network Encryption Appliance

AES Encryption for Ethernet at Gigabit Speeds with Jumbo Packet Support

for both Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint Network Architectures

Aptos, CA. – September 17, 2009 Engage Communication today has announced the Black•Door GIG Encryptor, the latest in their line of packet encryption products for both private and public network security. The Black-Door provides information assurance without requiring new system software or having to upgrade existing network edge devices.

The Black•Door GIG enables enterprises to add AES security to Ethernet packet interfaces without having to employ high paid IT consultants and disrupt their network edge hardware with upgrades, reconfiguration and add-on encryption accelerators. The Black-Door is deployable with basic Internet Protocol knowledge.

The Engage Black•Door GIG Encryptor offers customers a new level of Gigabit speeds for securing point to point or multi-point Ethernet networks. The Black•DoorGIG Encryptor’s Ethernet interfaces have independently configurable MTUs that are able to handle up to 9000 byte JUMBO Ethernet frames in real-time. The AES based encryption algorithm offer industry standard security levels at Layers: 2/VLAN/MPLS/3.

The Black•Door GIG Ethernet Encryptor meets the new security requirements and reduces overall network complexity for:

Department of Defense - Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines
National, State and Local Governments
Public Safety Networks
Homeland Security
Multi-Site Commercial Enterprises
Banking and Financial Institutions
Health Care Industries
Natural Gas & Electric Power Utility Companies
Transportation Agencies
Closed Circuit TV

Black•Door GIG Encryption enables Enterprises to achieve the stringent information security standards that are mandated by a variety of legislative actions, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Sarbanes-Oxley, California Database Security Breach Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, EU Data Protection Directive and the Federal Information Security Management Act.

Black•Door GIG Encryption enables Enterprises to prevent network attacks that seek to obtain or manipulate their most vital or profitable sources of information including:

∙ Customer Records	∙ Intellectual Property	∙ Marketing Plans
∙ Employee Files	∙ Accounting Forecasts	∙ Sales Strategies
∙ Source Code	∙ Formulae	∙ Financial Spreadsheets

Point to Point “Plug-and-Encrypt” Installation
The Black•Door GIG Encryptor is a plug-and-encrypt installation for the payload of layer 2 and MPLS point to point network connections. The payload of the Ethernet Packets entering the clear text LAN1 are AES encrypted and sent out LAN2 to the Egress Ethernet. Ethernet packets AES decryption requires a unique 256 bit key.

Broadband Interoffice Ethernet
Demand for interoffice bandwidth to support applications such as: VOIP, IPTV and Video on Demand, and the aggressive pricing from Ethernet Service providers are pushing Interoffice Ethernet into Multi-site Enterprises. Encryption is required at all network access points to assure sensitive payload and address information is encrypted and protected when it traverses service provider networks.

Wireless Gigabit Ethernet Encryption
One of the most economical means to establish Gigabit Ethernet connectivity between line-of-site locations is Wireless Ethernet with Gigabit interfaces. TheBlack•Door GIG Encryptor facilitates encryption of the Egress Ethernet to externally located Wireless Gigabit and offloads encryption from the Radio and supports multi point installations.

OSI Layer Encryption
The Black•Door GIG Encryptor interfaces to all layers with an internal bridge and router:
Layer 2 interfaces by encrypting data while maintaining device level address.
Layer 3 as a routing encryptor providing totally secure IP packets with addressing. Secure network tunnels, encrypting all data packets for end-to-end transmission.

MPLS Payload Encryption
The product is flexible in packet handling; it can provide an encrypted ‘tunnel’ for MPLS data packets, encrypting layers above the MPLS labels providing secure data payloads over a MPLS network.

The Black-Door GIG Encryptor is now available now!
