Four protocols are supported:
The exchange of secret encryption keys, the Achilles heel of classical cryptography products is performed in a separate appliance, called the QKD server. A fundamental principle of quantum physics - observation causes perturbation - is exploited to exchange secret keys between two remote parties over an optical fiber with unprecedented security. The QKD server autonomously produces, manages and distributes secret keys to one or more encryption engines. |
Taking the vulnerability out of the key exchange process
The Achilles heel of existing cryptography solutions is the key exchange process. While conventional key distribution techniques rely on public key cryptography or manual exchange, and therefore offer only conditional security, the secrecy of keys distributed by quantum cryptography is guaranteed in an absolute fashion by quantum physics. |

A scalable solution that grows with your needs
The Cerberis solution is cost-effective as it evolves with the network. Additional encryption engines can be added to a QKD server at any time, without network interruption. This allows for a scalable deployment, adding more encryption appliances whenever necessary to increase the bandwidth or to add additional protocols, without upgrading the QKD server. With the Cerberis solution, your infrastructure investments last longer and your total cost of ownership is reduced.
Installation and management is a breeze
The Cerberis solution integrates seamlessly into existing fiber-optic network infrastructures. A simple installation procedure ensures rapid deployment. Top-notch management tools, such as on-line singlepoint monitoring via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and off-line web-based applications, give network administrators the capability to centrally monitor and manage the appliances of the Cerberis solution within an enterprise network.
Regulatory compliances? Get peace of mind with the most technologically advanced solution
Federal compliance regulations, such as BASEL II, SOX, HIPAA and GLBA, are mandating companies to protect their private data. The scope of threats in today's information society is vast and growing. Companies securing their fiber-optic network with the Cerberis solution effectively raise, to an unprecedented level, the security of communications between their remote sites. It gives them the peace of mind of knowing that they are using the latest in cryptographic technological evolution, and allowing them to focus on other threats.
