IP Encryption Device
The TCE-621/B is a link encryption device for IP-based computer networks,
developed by Thales in Oslo (Norway) around 2010 for use
by NATO. The TCE-621/B is suitable for 10/100 Mbps IP networks and provides
end-to-end data protection. Is is the current NATO IP Crypto Equipment (NICE)
and is interoperable with all members of the Cryptel-IP family
including the TCE-621/M.

The TCE-621/B is intended for base stations and can be used on a desktop
as well as in a 19" rack. The image on the right shows a typical TCE-621/B
as it was used by NATO for training. It provides full RED/BLACK
separation and has separate connections for each type at the rear.
All controls are at the front. At the far right is the power switch with
a blue 24-button keypad to its left. At the center is a 2-line LCD screen
that is used for interaction with the user. At the far left is a slot
for a smart card,
which is used here as Crypto Ignition Key (CIK).

Immediately to the right of the CIK is the FILL socket. With an
appropriate adapter cable, the FILL socket can be connected to a standard
DS-101 (DTD) or DS-102 (KOI-18) key transfer device.
The TCE-621 is available in two versions: TCE-621/B and TCE-621/C:
|
- 10 and 100 Mbps data rates
- 10, 100 and 1000 MHbps (Gigabit)
|
|
Furthermore, each model is available in three variants:
|
- With NATO NICE algorithm (EINRIDE)
- With (public) AES algorithm (optional with customer-specific vector)
- Dual (both NICE and AES algorithms)
