CN Series Ethernet Encryptors
Senetas Corporation Ltd, distributed by Gemalto NV (SafeNet) - FIPS 140 #2794
The CN4010, CN4020 and CN6010 are high-speed hardware encryption modules that secure data over twisted-pair Ethernet and optical networks. The modules support data rates to 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s and 10Mb/s modes. The CN6010 is also equipped with pluggable SFPs to support a variety of optical network interfaces. Data privacy is provided by FIPS approved AES CFB and CTR algorithms and GCM for applications that demand authentication. Additional transmission security is provided via TRANSEC (Traffic Flow Security) which can be used to remove patterns in network traffic and prevent traffic analysis.
