CypherPlug IP Traffic Encryption in a Smart SFP

Overview

At its most basic level, encryption is the process of protecting information or data by using mathematical models to scramble it so that only the parties who have the key can access it. That process can range from simple to very complex. Mathematicians and computer scientists have invented specific forms of encryption that are used to protect information and data that consumers and businesses rely on every day.

CypherPlug is a smart SFP sleeve for payload encryption, layer 1, layer 2, and layer 3 headers are kept with the original value. Any standard MSA compatible 100 Mbps or 1 GbE SFP can host CypherPlug and enables full reuse of customer equipment and seamless deployment over network infrastructure types.
