Group Encryption Overview

Protecting data in motion has become a high priority for a growing number of companies and governments. The growing threat of data theft and the increased regulatory pressure to protect data has moved group encryption of data in motion from a "nice to have" technology to a budgeted project for many companies.

With the CipherEngine group encryption solution, you can secure your existing network without complex and costly reconfigurations.
However, companies that have deployed IPsec VPNs across their network have discovered that while encryption is a superior form of data protection, the deployment and management of IPsec VPNs is complicated, time consuming and largely incompatible with other network requirements, such as application performance, intelligent traffic routing and reliability. The IPsec VPN technology is also incompatible with a growing number of cost-effective Layer 2 service options, such as Metro Ethernet E-LAN, E-LINE, and VPLS forcing companies needing encryption to find another way to achieve such security.

CipherOptics addresses this need in the market with the introduction of CipherEngine, a groundbreaking group encryption solution that makes encryption easy to install, simple to manage and transparent to any infrastructure, topology or application.

Examples of CipherEngine encrypted groups include:
  • IP Hub and Spoke
  • MPLS full mesh
  • VPLS Mesh
  • Metro Ethernet point-to-multipoint
  • MPLS Multicast
  • Multi-carrier infrastructures
  • Mixed vendors infrastructures
  • The CipherEngine group encryption solution has the added benefit of decoupling the security from the networks' routed or switched infrastructure, providing additional security through role and access segmentation. CipherEngine also eases network troubleshooting, which is very difficult to do with other methods of transport encryption.
