Cisco Systems VPN Ism Module Hsec Bundles for 1941 ISR Platform
Description
Cisco Systems VPN Ism Module Hsec Bundles for 1941 ISR Platform
Specifications
Primary Use Case:
- VPN encryption and decryption acceleration (IPSec, SSL VPN)
- High-performance, secure communication for branch offices or remote sites
- Supports encryption protocols and key management for site-to-site and remote-access VPNs.
- 2. Key Features
- Hardware-Based VPN Acceleration:
Provides high-performance encryption and decryption, offloading processing from the router’s main CPU.
- IPSec and SSL VPN Support:
Supports IPSec VPN for site-to-site and remote-access VPNs.
- SSL VPN for secure, browser-based remote access.
- Scalability and Flexibility:
Designed for businesses that require secure connectivity for multiple remote users or multiple site-to-site connections.
- Can scale to meet growing security and encryption requirements as the organization expands.
- Cryptographic Algorithms Supported:
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) – Up to 256-bit encryption.
- 3DES (Triple DES) – Strong encryption for secure VPN tunnels.
- SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) – SHA-1, SHA-256 for hashing in VPNs.
- RSA – Used for public-key cryptography in VPNs.
- High-Security Design:
The ISM module is designed for high-security environments, offering robust encryption and data protection capabilities.
- Offloads CPU Load:
By handling encryption and decryption tasks, it frees up the router’s CPU to handle other network services, ensuring smooth operation under load.
