The SQCryptor suite provides a range of high performance purpose built integrated security solutions that provides encryption for each connection in layer 2 networks. It addresses different protocols such as Ethernet, ATM or SDH, but also for protocol-independent networks from 100Mb/s up to 10Gb/s.
The SQCryptor suite provides scalable performance and seamless end-to-end integration to deliver improved network operation and performance without compromising security.
There are numerous reasons (including security requirements)for choosing layer 2 encryption instead of layer 3 encryption (like IP for example). But one of the major issues regarding layer 3, is the bandwidth tax
When encrypting at layer 3 your oversize the overheads and packet size as much as 40%.
This bandwidth tax directly impacts both the latency of the equipment & the cost of the communication.

For Ethernet encryption from 100Mb/S up to 10Gb/S.

For ATM encryption up to 622Mb/s.

For SDH/SONET encryption up to 10Gb/S.

The security relies on key secrecy.
