| The KIV-21 INE for IP Networks (Photo courtesy US Navy Information Assurance web site.). |
The KIV-21 provides Type 1 encryption for Internet
Protocol (IP) -based networks, allowing
users to securely pass IP datagram traffic
up to the SECRET level (TOP SECRET with NSA
approval) across private intranets, wide-area
enterprises, and the public internet. The KIV-21
is a plug-and-play device that functions similarly
to a router on a secure network and uses
network protocols to perform most configuration
and path discovery functions dynamically. The
KIV-21 connects to the secure Red network
via Ethernet and the wide-area Black network via
a high-speed serial interface. The KIV-21's
Trusted Bypass protocol allows data packets to
navigate through non-secure infrastructure
to secure destinations
ViaSat started initial deliveries of the KIV-21 in August 2000.
