1830 Security Management Server (SMS)
How can you protect your layer 1 transport network from a quantum computer attack?
As more content and services move to the cloud, high-speed, low-latency, secure transport has become increasingly crucial. As part of a defense-in-depth security strategy, adding Layer 1 encryption with strong, symmetric pre-shared keys delivers network security today, protecting business-critical data against harvest and decrypt, and protecting against impending quantum computing threats.
The Nokia 1830 Security Management Server (SMS) supports centralized, symmetric key management for the entire cryptographic life cycle of each encrypted service. Using a powerful processor and security enhanced operating system, it generates quantum safe keys from physical spawned entropy to perform link encryption. It also provides highly scalable and unified key management in support of secure business-critical data communications.
As a key part of the Nokia Secure Optical Transport solution, the 1830 SMS helps you secure in-flight data, avoiding sensitive material from getting into the wrong hands, thus preventing business loss and interruption. The 1830 SMS generates quantum-safe keys for optical (1830 PSS, 1830 PSI) and microwave (Wavence) transport platforms, and other network elements, to secure a wide range of applications and services, including:
- Data center interconnect
- WAN/LAN interconnect
- High-performance computing
- Wavelength services
- Carrier Ethernet services
Benefits and features
