Kayote Networks has announced it will embed KoolSpan's smart
card authentication services in its VoIP management solutions to offer large
enterprise and carrier providers a more secure IP Telephony solution.
KoolSpan's embedded Secure Encrypted and Trusted (SET) Link technology
will be used by Kayote to bridge its carrier-class network, users, and devices
with encrypted network layer access.
KoolSpan's SET Link technology automatically creates secure,
encrypted, trusted network links between any two points on an IP network and
provides a solution for "traditional network headaches" such as a general lack
of interoperability created by firewalls, the use of VPN clients and the need
to connect to non-public (NAT) IP addresses.
The hardware-based smart card system ensures that only
authorised members of the network can connect protecting both the customer and
service provider from abuses and attacks.
"I am proud to offer our clients, together with
KoolSpan, a unique and reliable authentication measure that will protect the
advanced IP communications services we deliver, and in particular, to
enterprises and businesses worldwide," said Dr. Baruch Sterman, CEO of
Kayote Networks.
"We have long championed the vision that in order to
devise the best communications technology solutions, it is imperative to
first-and foremost protect one's key assets, and KoolSpan's solution does just
that."
KoolSpan technology combines smart card-to-smart card
architecture with per packet 256-bit AES Ethernet encryption without impacting
bandwidth utilisation or performance.
Operating at Layer 2, the lock and key infrastructure
provides a secure and consistent way for trusted users inside or outside the
firewall to access secured networks.
KoolSpan President and CEO Tony Fascenda explained the KoolSpan
technology operates transparently to protect VoIP communications without any
modification to the application, protocol or customer network.
"It is increasingly important to eliminate or side-step
traditional complexities that prevent end users from taking advantage of newer
and more secure communications tools," he said.
