Communication Security

There are several solutions for the security of communication, depending on the type of communication and the form of the information.

  • High-security networks often have to exchange information with one another. A VPN solution is most effective. Within the State Secrets segment, Fox-IT supplies SINA VPN for this purpose.
  • If a permanent, secure link between networks is not possible, the Fort Fox File Encryptor can be used. With this, the information can be encrypted and then sent through the internet to the recipient.
  • If a high-security network needs information from a lower-categorized network, such as the internet, then the Fox DataDiode provides an excellent solution. The Fox DataDiode guarantees that information can only flow in one direction.
  • Telephony, both fixed and mobile, is the most common method of communicating confidential information. SecuVOICE, a joint venture between SecuSmart and Fox-IT, makes it possible to make mobile phone calls securely government-wide. For phone calls between non-mobile phones VECOM, a joint venture between Sectra and Fox-IT, is an excellent solution.

SINA VPN

Application: Secure linking of networks
Classification: Stg. Geheim (Secret)

SINA enables organizations to connect physically separated networks through any secured or unsecured network.

Fort Fox File Encryptor

Application: Encryption of files
Classification: Stg. Geheim (Secret)

The FFFE system consists of a PCMCIA card (called the FFFE card) containing a hardware cryptographic chip, in combination with the FFFE software which enables encryption and decryption.

Fox DataDiode

Application: Secure connection through guaranteed one-way traffic
Classification: Stg. Geheim (Secret)

As owner or administrator of a high-security network, you are acutely aware of the security risks and threats involved in data transfer. That is why security requirements forbid your high-security network to be physically connected to any external network. This often means that data from an external source needs to be transferred manually on a portable data medium, such as a USB stick, CD or DVD. What is more, this time-consuming transfer is not done in real-time, and more importantly, creates security risks.

VECOM

Application: Secure telephony for land lines, fax and mobile telephones
Classification: Stg. Geheim (Secret)
