Network Equipment Technologies Delivers Industry's First Wire-Speed, Full Capacity SRTP Solution.LAS VEGAS -- Security Accelerator Module for NET VX Series Universal Voice Exchange Provides Line-Rate Encryption Based on Mocana's Embedded Security Suite Industry pioneer Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :NWK NWK Newark NWK Network Layer (Layer 3 of the WCPE protocol stack) NWK New Wet Kojak (band) NWK Newark Penn Station (Amtrak station code) NWK Networking ) announced today the general availability of the VX Security Accelerator Module (SAM) for NET's VX Series Universal Voice Exchange. The VX SAM is the industry's first wire-speed, full-capacity solution using the secure real-time transport protocol The Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (or SRTP) defines a profile of RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol), intended to provide encryption, message authentication and integrity, and replay protection to the RTP data in both unicast and multicast applications. (SRTP (Secure RTP) See RTP. ) and provides military-grade encryption utilizing Mocana's standards-based embedded IPsec/IKE and FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) A series of publications issed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that specifies information security guidelines for federal government departments and agencies. 140-2 certified cryptography libraries. With the VX SAM, NET's VX Series is the industry's first voice switch providing SRTP encryption for SIP media streams. SRTP is used to encrypt the actual voice data and provides confidentiality, message authentication, and replay protection for RTP (1) (Rapid Transport Protocol) The protocol used in IBM's High Performance Routing (HPR) system. (2) (Realtime Transport Protocol) An IP protocol that supports real time transmission of voice and video. . The VX SAM provides line-rate SRTP and IPsec encryption as an optional module for secure voice solutions utilizing the VX Series. Interoperability tests with the latest SRTP RFC (Request For Comments) A document that describes the specifications for a recommended technology. Although the word "request" is in the title, if the specification is ratified, it becomes a standards document. 3711 standards have been successfully completed. "NET has long been a leader in secure voice solutions and our products are heavily relied upon by some of the most security conscious federal agencies," said Talbot Harty, VP of Marketing and General Manager of NET's VX Product Delivery Group. "With our VX SAM and Mocana's Embedded Security Suite, enterprises can now take advantage of high-performance, military-grade encryption to provide end-to-end secure voice communications." Mocana's embedded IPsec/IKE implements a secure network layer that provides data integrity, origin authentication, data confidentiality, access control, partial sequence integrity and traffic flow confidentiality services to secure communications between any two networks or hosts. The Mocana solution is uniquely architected with an asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. core to fully leverage hardware acceleration.
