Velocite Encryption Solutions

The Internet is now home to countless security threats, and this number is only expected to grow. News feeds abound with reports of hacked computer systems. Already millions of dollars and highly sensitive public and private data have been stolen.

To date, traditional security procedures call for locking down sensitive data with strong encryption methods and highly secure storage systems. Such systems, while providing solid protection, are prone to overall performance degradation. Low performance equates to higher network latency and a decline in user productivity.

Velocite Systems is proud to present two solutions for combating the problem. The first solution, Velocite Systems, Encryption Rekeying Process, allows for an uninterrupted flow of data between remote datacenters. The second solution addresses a method for securing Data At Rest, as it provides a highly-secure solution for storing data on a disk both within the datacenter and external to it.

Velocite Encryption Re-Keying Process (Patent Pending)

Private links, also called Virtual Private Networks (VPN), are often set up for use in long lasting connections between datacenters. To ensure that the VPN is secure, the encryption keys need to be replaced periodically. The traditional method for changing these keys is to close the existing VPN session and renegotiate the key exchange. Since there is a high performance cost associated with this process, it is not done frequently. Also, the act of renegotiating the keys signals to any observer that the keys are being replaced.

The Velocite Systems, Encryption ReKeying Process creates a Virtual Private Point to Point Connection (VPPPC) between data end points (data centers, server-to-server, server to client, etc.) that replaces keys WITHOUT having to close the encrypted session. The control information to accomplish this is carried within the encrypted session, making it impossible to determine that it is occurring from simply monitoring the connection.

Velocite Systems, Encryption Re-Keying Processors also support clustering and failover technology to further increase performance and reliability.

Velocite Data At Rest

Traditionally, data have been protected by preventing access to the storage systems where they are kept. However, the development of mobile systems with large storage capabilities have made it possible for the data to be transported away from this protected environment.

One of the solutions to this problem has been to encrypt the storage media where the data are kept. Current encryption technologies will automatically encrypt disk partitions using a single key for the entire partition. However, increased power of computer systems provides dedicated hackers a realistic means to break keys used for partitions. Higher levels of security can be had by encrypting individual files. Doing so means that the user must submit a manual request to have each of their files encrypted separately.

Velocite Systems has engineered a solution to this issue that gives organizations fine-tuned control over the encryption of their data. The Velocite Systems, Secure Storage Process is a hardware and software subsystem that secures individual files or groups of files automatically, each with a unique key. It is built on a modular and scalable infrastructure that will meet demanding requirements for security and performance.
