  • Patent number: 9191407
    Abstract: Method, system, and computer program product example embodiments of the invention are disclosed to provide multi-network secure video teleconferencing (VTC) for VTC endpoints. The embodiments of the invention include a sequencer that controls the sequence of operations when moving a video teleconferencing terminal between secure networks. The sequencer receives commands to initiate the operation from an initiator, such as a user-initiated button press from a control console or a user-initiated request from an Internet interface, or for a scheduled operation from a scheduling interface. The sequencer then issues commands to a secure database of terminal configuration data and a control isolator to both transfer a video teleconferencing terminal to a new secure network to begin a conference and to remove a video teleconferencing terminal from a secure network to end a conference.

  • Publication number: 20110069144
    Abstract: Method, system, and computer program product example embodiments of the invention are disclosed to provide a secure room control isolator for a multi-network secure video teleconferencing room that meets the DISA and other standard security requirements. An example embodiment of the invention is a secure room control isolator coupled between a video teleconferencing room controller and a codec, to enable control commands to be sent from the room controller to the codec, but which permits only status information to be returned from the codec to the room controller. In this manner, classified information in the codec cannot be accessed by the room controller.

  • Publication number: 20110035472
    Abstract: Method, system, and computer program product example embodiments of the invention are disclosed to provide multi-network secure video teleconferencing (VTC) for VTC endpoints. The embodiments of the invention provide distributed components to perform the necessary operations, rather than co-locating the components in the VTC endpoint. Some system components are located with the VTC endpoint, other components are placed in a network operations center (NOC) and still other components are distributed on the various networks.
