The National Security Agency has granted certification to General Dynamics‘ mission systems division for its first TACLANE E-Series product designed to protect top-secret government information that passes through ethernet data networks.
The TACLANE-ES10 (KG-185A) encryptor is a Layer 2 Ethernet Data Encryption Cryptographic Interoperability Specification-compliant platform that works to secure classified information in high-speed networks at data rates up to 10 Gigabits per second, GDMS said Thursday.
“The now certified TACLANE-ES10 meets NSA’s EDE-CIS specifications and will carry through to all TACLANE E-Series products, helping customers save time and money by eliminating the need to retrofit outdated hardware that cannot be upgraded to meet the latest EDE-CIS specifications,” said Stephen Marker, vice president of secure networks, voice and computing products in GDMS’ cyber systems line of business.
Equipped with the GEM One encryptor management platform, TACLANE-ES10 provides support for key management infrastructure.
GDMS will add support for PPK allowing for interoperable communications in disconnected networks for the platform’s next release.
