Layer 2 Encryption

Certes Networks' Layer 2 encryption solutions allow you to secure data with a powerful combination of encryption and on-going authentication over any Ethernet environment. From point-to-point and point-to-multipoint deployments to larger multipoint-to-multipoint networks, Certes Networks makes Layer 2 encryption easy. With encryption speeds ranging from 3Mbps to 10Gbps, our Layer 2 encryption solutions ensure data confidentiality and integrity without impacting application or network performance.

Unlike many other Layer 2 encryption solutions, TrustNet provides authentication for every Layer 2 frame. Authentication is a critical component of data security as encrypted streams that are not authenticated are vulnerable to modifications and disruptions. If your Layer 2 traffic is important enough to be encrypted, it should also be authenticated.

For organizations that need to secure links between a few buildings, sites or LANS, the Variable Speed Encryptors (VSEs) offer a simple and affordable solution. These hardware accelerated encryption appliances provide high speed, low latency Layer 2 data protection for 3Mbps through 10Gbps link speeds.

The VSEs 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 TrustNet solution offers best-of-breed performance, elegantly simple installation and management, and breakthrough scalability. This powerful solution provides organizations the ability to secure their Layer2 networks, achieve regulatory compliance, and reduce the cost of deploying, managing and maintaining the encrypted network.
