atmedia Multipoint Encryption extended for special applications

12/05/2011 - The atmedia multipoint product range will be extended by two new devices for special areas of application and speeds up to 10 mbps.

For use in small offices or for the secure connection of distant, security relevant systems like payment systems, access control or other control or monitoring systems, the new 10M DE encryptor will be added to the product range.

A hardened DIN rail compatible variant of the 10M DE encryptor will be available for extreme environments.

The 10M DE systems are fully compatible to the existing 100M, 1G and 10G atmedia Ethernet multipoint encryptors. This enables a competitive integration of small sites into large multipoint Ethernet networks.

Like all atmedia multipoint systems, the 10M DE systems offer the unique GCM integrity- and replay-protection. This protection is essential for multipoint Ethernet networks. For critical control and monitoring applications, integrity- and replay-protection plays an even more important role than the data encryption.

New Market Overview Ethernet Encryptors 2011

05/13/2011 - A new market overview study about ethernet encryption systems has been published by inside-it.ch. For the first time the study is available as an english version too - including an introduction into security aspects of modern metro and carrier ethernet networks.

The market overview can be found here (inside-it.ch): http://www.inside-it.ch/frontend/insideit?_d=_article&site=ii&news.id=24932

atmedia Multipoint Encryption approved for transmission of classified data

05/10/2011 - The new multipoint version 3.2 has been approved by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) for the transmission of restricted data.

Following an intensive evaluation, the BSI has approved the new version 3.2 of the Ethernet Encryption product line for security levels VS-NfD, EU restrint and NATO restricted.

Special attention in the evaluation had been paid to the unique integrity- and replay-protection features of the system. These are essential for the use of layer 2 encryption in multipoint networks.

The BSI approval enables authorities and companies with a high demand for network security to effectively protect their WANs.

The already approved hardware platforms for point-to-point links will be supported largely by the firmware, enabling the customers to switch to multipoint by a simple firmware upgrade only.

atmedia Ethernet Multipoint Encryption with integrity protection

06/23/2010 - Worlds first Ethernet Multipoint Encryption with 10 gigabit and AES GCM integrity protection support released.

With the new version 3.2 of its Ethernet Encryption product line, atmedia GmbH released the world’s first interoperable multipoint encryption system for all Ethernet speeds from 10 mbps to 10 gbps.

Since the atmedia encryption system uses AES Galois Counter Mode (AES-GCM), Ethernet multipoint networks can be protected against manipulation- and replay-attacks for the first time. This high level of protection could be guaranteed by less performing and less efficient IPSec solutions only up to now.

Another product feature is the seamless support of Ethernet broadcast and multicast scenarios. This greatly improves the efficient and secure implementation of bandwidth and quality demanding services like voice, video, terminal access and storage over WANs.

The atmedia Ethernet multipoint encryption solution enables a significant simplification of WAN infrastructures leading to a considerable cost reduction. Network services with different quality requirements can be aggregated to a single secure WAN link. With the support of MPLS and IP V6, the investment into network security will be protected for the future.

atmedia 10G High-Speed Encryption approved for classified data by the BSI

03/19/2010 - The atmedia 10G Encryptor has been approved by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) for the transmission of classified data according to the classification level "VS - Nur fuer den Dienstgebrauch (VS-NfD)", EU und NATO restricted.

For the first time, the atmedia encryption system allows to encrypt fastest Ethernet network links up to 10 gbps efficiently and plausibly secure.

In contrary to IPSec based solutions, the 10G devices are working at full wire speed and with minimal delay and jitter. This guarantees that there is no impact at all on real-time services or terminal services.

The encryption at network layer 2 makes the system the perfect solution for the protection of complex MPLS networks or IP V6 based networks.

In addition to the Ethernet layer 2 encryption, the 10G Encryptor offers a special operating mode, optimized for data center interconnections. A certified combination of the atmedia Encryptor and a TDM Multiplexor allows the approved encryption of storage networks like FibreChannel, Ficon oder Escon links.

atmedia and secunet start cooperation

07/17/2008 - secunet extends its SINA high security solution family to include a Layer 2 encryption system. The new SINA L2 devices achieve encryption rates of up to 10 GBits/s, enabling data transmission in near real time. With SINA L2, secunet meets the specific requirements of the market, where Layer 2 and IP encryption are increasingly used in combination. SINA L2 is the result of a joint venture by Essen-based secunet Security Networks AG and atmedia GmbH from Saarbruecken.

While the previous IPSec VPN products from the SINA family ensure flexible encryption for use in any IP network configurations including suitable client products, the L2 components are designed for point-to-point encryption in dedicated networks (MAN, WAN, SAN) and offer the best possible protection in this area. They can be connected to existing network infrastructures without any changes through encryption at network level (Layer 2).

SINA L2 is based on a platform from atmedia GmbH in Saarbruecken and is supplied as an OEM product. Integration into the highly scalable SINA Management offers customers a standardized view of all of their security components, together with effective configuration and key distribution. The partnership between atmedia and secunet was contractually established on July 14.
