Talon® KOV-26 Next Generation Secure Remote Access and Secure Network Interoperable Solution: Talon® provides a versatile high-grade/high-assurance remote dial-up and Ethernet client solution that enables users to securely access centralized network resources at levels up to and including TS/SCI. Talon is the next generation secure remote access solution supporting NSA’s planned replacement to the existing RASP™ Secure Modem for securing classified information. Talon is the first solution designed to be interoperable with both SCIP and HAIPE protocols. This flexibility provides interoperability with other SCIP Terminals and with other HAIPE encryptors.

Secure Voice + Data

For voice and data encryption, AOS offers encryption solutions providing a strategic level of security:

Sectéra™ Interoperable Security Architecture from General Dynamics Decision Systems

Developed as a follow-on to the U.S. Government's STU-III technology, the Sectéra™ Interoperable Security Architecture transcends the analog and wireline world. Residing at the application layer, this new architecture enables interoperable security for analog and digital; wireline and wireless; voice and data:

IP Encryption

The Datacryptor™ 2000 IP is the newest member of Thales' family of proven network encryptors, and provides the strongest encryption technology available commercially, using Triple DES (168-bit key) as standard. In addition, the unit accepts customized/national algorithms, and is the first IP encryptor that can be soft-upgraded in place for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

Fax

Depending on the requirement, AOS offers two different approaches to fax encryption. One approach is to use a traditional RJ-11 fax machine with a standalone, RJ-11 fax encrytor. Another approach is to use the data port of the voice encryptor with a special purpose RS-232 ported fax machine.

Data

For data, AOS offers several high and low speed data encryptors along with some specialized hardware and software encryption solutions. The selection of a data encryptor is very application specific.
