The VCON SecureConnect family of products extends the benefits of IP-based communications safely beyond the edges of the managed data network. The SecureConnect family includes the Application Level Gateway (ALG) Proxy Server, the Advanced Encryption Server and the Encryption Client.

ALG Proxy Server

This application level gateway (ALG) is a proxy server that specializes in secure firewall/NAT traversal of H.323 traffic (both signaling streams and media streams). It overcomes the connectivity problems that are presented by firewalls and NAT servers. One key benefit of the ALG Proxy architecture is that external devices never connect directly to the private network and internal devices never connect directly to the public network. Scalable from 2 to 100 concurrent calls, the ALG Proxy server can address NAT/Firewall issues on videoconferencing networks of all types. Additionally, if an ALG is configured for encryption, it is able to serve as a gateway between the encrypted side of the network and the non-encrypted side.

Advanced Encryption Server

This server works in conjunction with the VCON Encryption Client and/or the ALG Proxy server in order to fully encrypt videoconferences or other data transmissions across public or private networks. Authentication, signaling streams, and media streams only pass between specifically authorized devices - all fully encrypted where needed. When combined with the ALG Proxy server, communication sessions from appliance devices can also be fully encrypted. The Advanced Encryption Server supports DES, 3DES and AES encryption standards and the method of encryption is centrally configured and controlled by the network administrator.
