The PowerCryptor is a small and compact IP network encryption device, offering fast throughput and high reliability. The size and performance of the PowerCryptor makes it an ideal solution for a wide range of security applications, for example:

Performance Overview

Modes of Operation
The PowerCryptor is available in either a bridge mode or gateway mode. Each of these modes caters for different implementations in the organisation. The bridge-mode PowerCryptor encrypts the payload of the IP packet, and works as a bump-in-the-wire concept. As such, the bridge-mode PowerCryptor can be easily deployed into existing networks, or MPLS networks. Gateway-mode MicroCryptor encapsulates the original IP packet with new headers, allowing the original IP headers to be concealed. The gateway-mode PowerCryptor allows secure remote access from client machines using IPCrypt Client.

Enhanced IPSec
PowerCryptor provides an alternative key management protocol called Enhanced IPSec developed by CE-Infosys. Using Enhanced IPSec, faster connections can be made as there is no need for lengthy session key negotiations using IKE to establish a tunnel. In addition, each IP packet is implicitly authenticated with any modified or malicious packets automatically discarded.

Enhanced IPSec enables the session keys used for encryption to be changed with unprecedented speed. The lifetime of each session key can range from 1, 5, 10 or 20 packets. These rapidly changing session keys protect the networks from passive attacks such as statistical analysis of the encrypted packets.

If required, the PowerCryptor can also be configured to use standard IPSec/IKE protocols in Gateway mode.

Central Management
The PowerCryptor can be easily managed centrally using GlobalAdmin. This central management station provides an intuitive Graphical User Interface for simple administration of the PowerCryptor. Using GlobalAdmin, keys and policies used by the PowerCryptor can be pushed down remotely. In addition, firmware upgrades can be sent remotely to the PowerCryptor.

Highest Reliability
As a high end product for the most demanding customers, reliability is a key asset. The PowerCryptor is designed for reliability. No mechanical moving parts are found in the PowerCryptor. No high voltage components are used in the products.

Designed to withstand demanding conditions and suitable to be utilised in cars, trucks, and other vehicles, the PowerCryptor has an outstanding MTBF rate and is resistant against dust, sand and humidity.
