Cassidian unveils Ectocryp Yellow, the next addition to the Encryption Portfolio at DSEI 2013..

The In addition, the software can be fully updated in the field and upgrades can be performed remotely for deployed units. With insignificant latency, Ectocryp Yellow eliminates the overhead of crypto on a network and provides transparent operation to users. Ectocryp Yellow is in the final stages of evaluation and conformance testing and full CAPS certification is expected later this year.

The core product in the Ectocryp family is Blue, which is Europe’s only HAIPE(R)-certified* remotely operated cryptographic device. The Ectocryp Blue solution can transfer information classified up to Top Secret across public networks allowing organisations to minimise the risk of cyber attack.

Cassidian CyberSecurity cryptography solutions facilitate the service of protection of sensitive data for all organisations. The Ectocryp family includes versions that are being exported to countries from the USA to the Middle East.

* HAIPE (R) = High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor.

**PRIME is CESG's preferred standard for encrypting all types of Government information across networks. Devices are tested at an independent lab using a test process to confirm that they comply with the standard. Devices that have successfully completed this test process are recognised by CESG as PRIME devices.

Note: At the time of writing, Ectocryp Yellow is being evaluated under the CESG Assisted Products Service, CAPS, and will be tested for PRIME compliance through the Conformance Test Facility operated by Roke Manor Research for CESG. The CAPS service evaluates encryption devices against UK Government cryptographic standards for use by UK Government and other appropriate organizations for data classified up to UK Top Secret.
