CN6000 Series Encryptors
Senetas Corporation Ltd. and SafeNet Inc. - FIPS 140 #2562
The CN6000 Series is a high-speed hardware encryption platform that secures data over optical and twisted-pair Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks. Models validated are the CN6100 10G Ethernet operating at a line rate of 10Gb/s and the CN6040, Ethernet and FC selectable model operating at data rates up to 4Gb/s. Data privacy is provided by FIPS approved AES CFB and CTR algorithms. GCM is available on the CN6040 for applications that also demand authentication. Additionally TRANSEC (also known as Traffic Flow Security or TFS) transmission security capability can be used to remove patterns from
