The Shoghi ATM Encryptor provides data privacy and access control for connections between vulnerable public and private ATM networks. It employs federally endorsed DES or Triple-DES algorithms and, with the flexibility to choose the desired interface module, can be deployed in T1, E1, T3, E3, OC3c and OC12c networks. The ATM Encryptor can be centrally controlled or managed across multiple remote stations using Security Management Center, an SNMP-based security management system.

When deployed in the network, the ATM Encryptor functions with complete transparency to the environment. Users need not modify their work habits to take advantage of the ATM Encryptor's security capabilities, and businesses can continue to use LAN and LAN-based devices such as servers, workstations and switches within a secure environment.

The Shoghi ATM Encryptor encrypts only the user data and leaves the routing information in the header of the ATM cell intact. This allows encrypted user data to travel on the ATM network just like any other unsecured data. The ATM Encryptor at the final destination decrypts the data and delivers it to the user on the trusted network.
