Layer 2 encryption with CipherEngine
CipherEngine provides simple management for Layer 2 encryption deployments on any Layer 2 network. Our unique method of policy definition, key distribution and global encryption management makes layer 2 encryption scalable, highly available and virtually transparent to applications. With CipherEngine Layer 2 encryption is easy to deploy and simple to manage.

CipherEngine gives organizations the ability to:
  • Create secure communities of interest by encrypting based on VLAN IDs
  • Preserve resiliency and maintain high availability
  • Group endpoints together easy configuration and high scalability
  • Authenticate all traffic, frame by frame
  • Encrypt multicast traffic
  • Point-to-Point Layer 2 Encryption

    For organizations that need to secure links between a few buildings, sites or LANS, the CipherEngine Enforcement Points (CEPs) offer a simple and affordable solution. These hardware accelerated encryption appliances provide high speed, low latency Layer 2 data protection for 10Mbps through 10Gbps link speeds.

    The CEPs are:
  • Are simple to install and manage
  • Require no architecture, protocol or topology changes
  • Perform at wire-speed
  • Encrypt with lowest latency in the industry
  • The CipherEngine data protection solution offers best-of-breed performance, elegantly simple installation and management, and breakthrough scalability. CipherEngine gives you the power to protect data in motion wherever, however and whenever you want, without changes or disruptions to your Layer 2 network, your infrastructure, or your operations.
