SECTERA SECURE WIRELINE TERMINAL

The Sectéra® Wireline Terminal is a compact, lightweight, portable device that connects to a standard analog desktop phone or personal computer and provides end-to-end security. About the size of a portable CD player, the small footprint allows the Sectéra Wireline Terminal to be used in a stationary environment with minimal space, or as a portable device that can be transported to remote or temporary locations. In addition, the Sectéra Wireline Terminal meets the standards of the Sectel Design and Verification Test Procedure for temperature, shock and vibration. Featuring General Dynamics' Sectéra Interoperable Security Architecture, this terminal helps protect proprietary information at the office, home or while traveling. The Sectéra Architecture is employed by a family of products and offers high assurance security solutions that are totally software programmable, algorithm agile, compatible with interoperability standards and are application/network/media independent.

Additional Notes

The Wireline Terminal features a standard 56 KB modem, a security/authentication display and voice prompts to assist with security set up. With proper authorization and keying, the Sectéra Wireline Terminal provides U.S. Type 1 encryption, certified by the National Security Agency (NSA). This same device implements the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), approved as a replacement for the 1977 Data Encryption Standard (DES) by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2002, to protect sensitive and private communications for government, business and international users. The terminal is available with multiple key-sets to support U.S. Government sponsored interoperability (e.g., NATO and coalition). It complies with SCIP (Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol) standards and will securely interoperate with other SCIP-compatible devices. The Military Committee for the NATO Communications and Information Systems Security and Evaluation Agency (SECAN) has approved the Sectéra Secure Wireless Phone for GSM and Sectéra Wireline Terminal for the encryption of all levels of NATO classified information.
