Senetas’ CypherNET CN7000 Series hardware encryptors are engineered to deliver high-performance data encryption right to the network edge. Offered in a variety of form factors, the CN7000 is perfectly suited for in-field communications and the most demanding environments.
Its ruggedized IP67-rated model provides military-grade, authenticated encryption, extending secure data protection to the last mile of operations. Built to withstand heat, vibration, dust, and water, it’s the ideal solution for defence and critical infrastructure applications.
About the CN7000 Series
With the introduction of the CypherNET CN7000 series, Senetas is delivering high-assurance, crypto-agile data security to modern networks. This dedicated, high-speed encryption platform offers state-of-the-art, zero-touch key management and ensures authenticated, end-to-end encryption at wire speeds of up to 10Gbps.
The CN7000 series performs real-time data encryption with minimal latency across all packet sizes, optimizing performance. Its transport-independent encryption secures data transmission across Layers 2, 3, and 4, making it ideal for today’s multi-layered network environments.
Fully interoperable with all Senetas CN series encryptors, the CN7000 series is designed with crypto-agility in mind, offering built-in support for NIST-approved Post-Quantum Cryptographic (PQC) algorithms. Its hybrid encryption capabilities blend the best of classical algorithms with PQC, while the transport-independent mode eliminates quantum-vulnerable key exchanges between devices.
The CN7000 series also supports Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) via third-party QKD systems, providing a future-proof approach to secure key exchange. Additionally, it offers flexibility with custom algorithm support, customizable elliptic curve cryptography, and user-defined loadable entropy.
