IP Traffic Encryption
End-to-end IPsec encryption, seamless security with an SFP sleeve
In short:
IP traffic encryption protects data moving across a network without replacing existing routers or switches. RAD’s CypherPlug is a smart SFP sleeve that adds transport-mode IPsec encryption at Layer 2 or Layer 3 – plug-and-play, with encryption keys inaccessible to field technicians.
Implementing the Solution
The Challenge
The rise in cyber threats and increased regulation has made encryption mandatory in nearly every network element. This presents challenges, especially when considering existing deployments and brownfield networks. Adding IPsec VPN capabilities to routers is often a costly and complex process.
Our Approach
Instead of replacing network equipment, we introduce a miniature network security device: the CypherPlug®. This smart SFP sleeve encrypts IP traffic over Layer 2 or Layer 3 and provides robust encryption without compromising existing infrastructure.
Your Benefit
Effortless plug-and-play functionality enables quick deployment without the need for additional devices, training or complex setups. OpEx savings are achieved by eliminating the need for rack space, power, or cabling.
RAD’s Solution Highlights
static transport mode IPsec encryption
standard MSA SFP ports of switches, routers, DSLAMs, and mobile base stations
enhancement for existing deployment using an SFP sleeve; encryption keys inaccessible to field technicians

FAQ
Yes. CypherPlug is designed for brownfield networks. It adds end to end, static transport mode IPsec encryption through standard SFP ports on switches, routers, DSLAMs, and mobile base stations already in place, with no additional devices, rack space, power, or cabling required.
CypherPlug is RAD's miniature network security device. It is a smart SFP sleeve that plugs into the standard MSA SFP port of an existing switch, router, DSLAM, or mobile base station, adding IPsec encryption over Layer 2 or Layer 3 traffic without replacing any equipment.
Yes. CypherPlug's encryption keys are inaccessible to field technicians, a design specifically called out in RAD's solution highlights to prevent key exposure during on site maintenance or installation.
