iDirect improves satellite transmission security
New software for its military TDMA VSAT system includes X.509 certificates and government-standard AES 256 encryption
Herndon, Virginia-based iDirect Technologies, a company of Vision Technologies Systems, announced last week a major improvement to the transmission security capabilities of its military TDMA VSAT systems in use by special forces and other military organizations needing secure satellite communications in remote areas. The new software incorporates X.509 certificates to prevent the insertion of unfriendly remote users into a secured network and employs government-standard AES 256 encryption for an additional layer of security.
