Babylon IP - IP-Encryption

IP networks, such as the Internet, are in use everywhere and deliver all kinds of applications directly on an user's desk. After voice transmission with ‘Voice over IP’ (VoIP) has discovered the IP world, the most widely used video conference systems now also support the so called ‘Videoconference over IP’ (VCoIP) and offer an IP network connection along with the traditional ISDN link. However, typically IP connections take place over a large network – the Internet – and all a hacker or an eavesdropper needs is just an internet link and the right tools. The threat to video conferencing reaches a new order of magnitude: virtually every internet user can wiretap an IP video conference. Encryption becomes more important than ever. Safe-com offers the required protection of confidentiality for the VCoIP, through the encryption system for IP packets Babylon IP.

Babylon IP encrypts the complete data stream thus preventing unallowed access to video and voice. Safe-com Babylon IP is installed at sender and receiver side between the video conference system or MCU and the IP network. Calls are automatically encrypted in a way which is fully transparent to the user. The TIGER mode enables a security integration without having to undertake modifications to the IP routing. With the optionally embedded Kaspersky AVP module, Babylon IP becomes a complete security appliance which combines firewall, VPN and anti-virus protection functions in one powerful, compact hardware device. Special software features and its perfect fit in SNMPbased network management structures make the Babylon IP perfectly suited for use in mid- and large-sized IP networks.
