The Curtiss-Wright Controls Electron Systems’ Vortex AES-256 Data Encryption and Decryption Record and Playback System shows Curtiss-Wright Applications Group’s integration work. This Vortex Open Data Recording and Playback systems’ application has 3 modes to handle I/O PMC acquired data: recording mode (with AES-256 encryption), playback mode (with AES-256 decryption), and pass through mode. AES-256 encryption/decryption, Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) certified, protects data from unauthorized use. AES-256 encrypts the data before storage on a Fibre Channel SAN, making it easier to handle, ship, and clear the device. The system can also pass the data through a workstation without encrypting or storage. The acquired data can playback by transferring the data to the AES- 256 decryption core from the storage device and out a high speed serial link to a workstation. The Vortex Data Encryption/Decryption System contains all needed components to record and playback these streams of data from a JBOD or RAID storage device.
