Bitstream IP Crypto Layer 3 IP Traffic Encryptor for Government and Military Backbone Networks NSA Suite B
Technical specifications
Technical overview
The Bitstream IP Crypto is the IP traffic encryptor designed for the government agency, armed forces, and critical infrastructure operator that need to transmit classified or sensitive information over wide-area data networks — interministerial backbone optical fiber, microwave link between military bases, SCADA control IP network — without modifying existing network equipment or reducing network performance to levels that compromise real-time applications.
The encryptor operates at line rate on 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces: processes, encrypts, and forwards each IP packet in under 5 microseconds encryption latency — without queuing, buffering, or packet loss — so real-time applications like VoIP (SIP) and classified videoconferencing maintain their quality of service parameters without special prioritization. The hardware cryptographic engine implements AES-256-GCM (Galois/Counter mode) with parallel GHASH integrity authentication, ensuring that any single-bit alteration of the encrypted traffic is detected and discarded before decryption.
Implemented NSA Suite B algorithms — elliptic curve P-384 for ECDH key exchange, SHA-384 for digital signature, AES-256 for content encryption — correspond to the NSA (National Security Agency)-approved security level for protecting SECRET information on US government networks, the same standard adopted by NATO allies for classified network interoperability. HAIPE-compatible (High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor) key management allows the Bitstream IP Crypto to operate in mixed encryptor networks where equipment from multiple HAIPE-certified manufacturers coexist, using the standard key distribution protocol without dependency on a proprietary management system.
