Arqit NetworkSecure™ Adaptor - Standalone/Test Mode
Product Overview
The Arqit NetworkSecure Adaptor is a software application that interfaces with network devices e.g. firewalls or applications (Devices) that support the ETSI 014 specification for external key retrieval. Devices are able to make on-demand out-of-band requests for symmetric encryption keys to connected NetworkSecure Adaptors using standard ETSI 014 REST API calls. These keys can be used to test the establishment of encrypted data communications between Devices e.g. a point-to-point IPSec VPN link created between firewall gateways based on the IKEv2 key agreement protocol.
An encrypted tunnel is formed using symmetric keys retrieved from connected Adaptors. The NetworkSecure Adaptor, when deployed in Standalone or Test mode, provides static symmetric keys to Devices using the standard ETSI 014 protocol and is suitable for integration testing purposes only.
Contact enquiries@arqit.uk to learn about the benefits of Arqit's Symmetric Key Agreement Platform (SKAP), which together with the NetworkSecure Adaptor provides on-demand, scalable quantum-safe symmetric keys over the ETSI 014 interface to protect point-to-point VPN data links against quantum threats such as Store Now Decrypt Later (SDNL). Annual subscription licenses are available to upgrade the Standalone (Test Mode) Adaptor to the full-featured NetworkSecure Adaptor and access to SKAP features.
