KG - 75
The FASTLANE ® (KG-75) encryptor provides high-speed, transparent,
low-latency security services for multimedia applications across both local
and wide area asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. FASTLANE provides
an effective solution because of its ability to take advantage of ATM's
bandwidth-on-demand services. FASTLANE supports a variety of communication
modes (i.e., voice, video, data, and imagery) with flexibility and robust
key management. It provides authentication plus end-to-end protection of
user information at all levels up to TOP SECRET/sensitive compartmented
information (SCI). The encryptor supports point-to-point and
point-to-multipoint (multicast) communications, switched and permanent
virtual circuits, simplex and duplex communications.
Support includes up to 4,094 simultaneous, cryptographically isolated
ATM connections. The FASTLANE encryptors may be nested, allowing for the
creation of cryptographically isolated networks to operate at different
security levels. FASTLANE may support an individual user, a multi-user
computer based group or a Local Area Network. Rekeying can be accomplished
either electronically or through traditional means.
For each connection, FASTLANE dynamically generates the traffic keys.
This approach, isolating the connections and using different keys for each
connection, gives you greater security than a bulk encryptor's single key
for all connections. During those phases when the FASTLANE is not
operational the user crypto-ignition key (CIK) can be removed. With the key
removed, FASTLANE reverts to an unclassified/ CCI (controlled COMSEC item).
