Babylon Basic

Single ISDN BRI Encryptor

BabylonT Basic is an advanced, digital encryption device equipped with an ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) port. It is simply placed in front of the end-user device, such as an ISDN telephone, fax, personal computer or videoconferencing system and is especially suitable for branch offices, small offices and home offices.

Secure Videoconferencing

Babylon Basic is ideal for the deployment of secure videoconferencing networks operating at data rates of 128 Kbit/s. Encrypted point-to-point, multipoint or hybrid conferencing networks are all supportable by Babylon Basic at network end-points and multipoint control unit hubs. Or, combine Babylon Basic at end-points with Babylon 4xBRI or Babylon PRI at the hub site for larger networks. Operating seamlessly between public and private networks, Babylon Basic is completely transparent to end-users.

Encryption

Babylon uses hardware-supported symmetric 192-bit triple-DES encryption algorithms for encrypting the data stream. For every new communication session, Babylon Basic automatically generates a unique key by means of the Diffie-Hellman public key exchange protocol. Users can also define their own set of keys and assign them to the different logical links.

Remote Management

SecurityManager allows authorised administrators to centrally manage encryption keys, install new firmware and configure devices. Babylon devices support SNMP and Syslog. Extensive monitoring capabilities about every connection provide network managers with real-time system status.
