Cisco Lauched military quality encryption ISR switch

Cisco reported its ISR G2 switch equipment cryptographic modules that permit taking into account what is called "Suite B", the gathering assigned by the Defense Communications NSA encryption calculation IP activity point-to-point encryption.

As per Sarah Vanier, security arrangements promoting at Cisco, the VPN Internal Service Module for the Cisco ISR G2 switch lets data innovation directors select how to utilize any of the fundamental encryption calculations and additionally the SHA-2 hash calculation to ensure delicate data going between any two steering focuses outfitted with the module.

"The module permits you to offload the encryption process on to the card," says Vanier, with the equipment doing the diligent work of encryption and decoding of movement toward the starting and ending focuses.

The determination of encryption and hash calculations in the Cisco card incorporate the Advanced Encryption Standard, principles based elliptic-bend cryptography or Triple-DES, to fulfill encryption prerequisites that may run from unclassified to Top Secret in military systems, she said.
