Prolog information
Encryption ensures no one else can read the data sent to and from the IP Office. Encryption is the application of a complex mathematical process at the originating end, and a reverse process at the receiving end. The process at each end uses the same ‘key’ to encrypt and decrypt the data:
The IP Office can encrypt any data sent using a number the following algorithms:
Algorithm
Key size (bits)
Use
DES-40
40
Not supported.
DES-56
56
Not supported.
3DES
112
Low security.
RC4-128
128
Medium security.
AES-128
128
High security.
AES-256
256
High security.
In general, the larger the key size, the more secure the encryption. However, smaller key sizes require less processing. The system supports encryption using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.
