Network Equipment Tech.'s Wire-Speed Full Capacity SRTP Solution

Network Equipment Technologies announces 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 (SRTP) and provides military-grade encryption utilizing Mocana's standards-based embedded IPsec/IKE and FIPS 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. 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 3711 standards have been successfully completed.

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 core to fully leverage hardware acceleration.
