Cipher X 7100 Frame Relay Encryption provides various speeds in a single hardware platform reducing the costs and optimizing the circuit data rate and number of private virtual circuits for each Cipher X frame relay encryptor at your remote sites. This innovative approach allows customers to install a Cipher X 7100 data encryptor on your public frame relay network today at the circuit data rate and the number of secure private virtual circuits (PVCs) you need and remotely upgrade to a higher speed circuit or add PVCs when needed. With Cipher X 7100 Frame Relay network encryption, you can tailor your hardware encryption needs quickly and easily as your corporate needs expand, while protecting your hardware investment.This allows you to pay for only the system you need today with options to upgrade in the future.

Cipher X 7100 Frame Relay Encryption is network transparent. Since it only encrypts the data in a frame relay packet, no changes to the network are required. Additionally, it secures data at the frame relay layer so it can also protect SNA, BSC, IP or other protocols encapsulated in frame relay.

The Cipher X 7100 requires little user training to install, configure and operate, minimizing operational cost to end-users. Security policies are intuitively easy to establish and enforce; each bi-directional data link connection identifier (DLCI) based link is configured as a transparently established secure connection. Once configured, insertion of Cipher X 7100 data encryptors into the frame relay network is operationally transparent; no changes to the network are required.

Secure, AES-256 protected key and device management of each Cipher X 7100 data encryptor can be performed remotely over a client-server connection using TCC's KEYNET Release 2

Incorporating a KEYNET centralized management function into the network makes the security policy configuration and periodic key management operations fully automatic for trusted security.

A security policy is also easily enforced by the Cipher X system. Each frame relay virtual circuit is designated as cipher (secure), clear, or blocked. This is transparent to the user thereby eliminating training, user acceptance, and enforcement issues. A single Cipher X system can control access for all 1,024 virtual circuits in a frame relay connection making it a very cost effective solution.
