Abstract: Sensitive, Standard Telephone Equipment (STE) data is encapsulated into IP packets in a remotely deployed, secure communication system. The IP packets are addressed to a matching IP encapsulator/decapsulator device over the public Internet or other IP protocol network, that then passes it to a similar STE device over an ISDN link for decryption. The present invention is embodied in a system that provides secure Voice-Over-IP (VOIP), video and data network functionality in a single, small size deployable case, to a remote user. Most importantly, the embodiment allows for the routing of bulk encrypted (i.e., secure) data over a public network, e.g., the Internet.

Abstract: A deployable secure cellular communication system comprises an encryption device, an Internet Protocol (IP) encapsulator to encapsulate an output of the encryption device within IP packets, and a network interface to allow transport of the IP packets to a public IP network. The encryption device may be an STE device, the output of which is encapsulated into IP packets addressed to a matching IP encapsulator/decapsulator device over a public IP network, that then passes to a similar STE or other encryption device for decryption. Secure Voice-Over-IP (VoIP), video and data network functionality in a single, small size deployable case, to a remote user. Most importantly, bulk encrypted (i.e., secure) data is communicated over a public IP network.

Abstract: A quick insert/quick release encryption unit mounting bracket allowing a Type 1 encryption device such as the KIV-7 to be quickly inserted and perhaps more importantly, quickly removed (e.g., in the event of the need for an extremely quick evacuation of a military site). The quick insert/quick release mounting bracket allows for removal of a Type 1 encryption device simply by pulling the encryption unit straight out in the direction of the front of the unit, without the need to physically unscrew or otherwise disconnect individual cable assemblies, or for insertion by simply sliding the encryption unit into place. This facilitates a quick swap out of an encryption unit in the event of failure, or in the event that the sensitive nature of the encryption unit needs to be quickly removed to protect the encryption unit from falling into enemy hands.
