Abstract

A secure Voice-Over-IP (VOIP), video and data network functionality in a single, small size deployable case, for a remote user. While capable of secure communications, the disclosed system also provides communication capability (VOIP, video and/or data) in a non-secure manner if desired. Most importantly, bulk encrypted (i.e., secure) data may be routed over a public network, e.g., the Internet.

Claims (30)

1. A portable, deployable communication system, comprising:

an encryption device to produce bulk encrypted data;

a red side Internet Protocol (IP) network router to route said bulk encrypted data to and from said portable, deployable communication system;

an encapsulator to encapsulate said bulk encrypted data in IP packets; and

a black side IP network router distinct from said red side IP network router and routing said IP encapsulated, bulk encrypted data to and from said portable, deployable communication system over a data tunnel established over a public IP network.

2. The portable, deployable communication system according to claim 1 , wherein:

said IP encapsulated, bulk encrypted data is routed to a remote router.

3. The portable, deployable communication system according to claim 1 , wherein:

said encryption device is a KIV-7 encryption device.

4. The portable, deployable communication system according to claim 1 , wherein:

said encryption device is a KIV-21 encryption device.

5. The portable, deployable communication system according to claim 1 , wherein:

at least one of said red side IP network router and said black side IP network router maintain a quality of service.

6. The portable, deployable communication system according to claim 1 , wherein:

said data tunnel is a dedicated data tunnel.

7. A method of providing a secure communication with a portable, deployable communication system, comprising:

producing bulk encrypted data with an encryption device;

routing said bulk encrypted data with a red side Internet Protocol (IP) network router of said portable, deployable communication system;

encapsulating said bulk encrypted data in IP packets; and

routing, with a black side IP network router distinct to and from said red side IP network router, said IP encapsulated, bulk encrypted data to and from said portable, deployable communication system over a data tunnel established over a public IP network.

8. The method of providing a secure communication with a portable, deployable communication system according to claim 7 , further comprising:

routing said IP encapsulated, bulk encrypted data to a remote router.

9. The method of providing a secure communication with a portable, deployable communication system according to claim 7 , wherein:

said encryption device is a KIV-7 encryption device.

10. The method of providing a secure communication with a portable, deployable communication system according to claim 7 , wherein:

said encryption device is a KIV-21 encryption device.

11. The method of providing a secure communication with a portable, deployable communication system according to claim 7 , further comprising:

maintaining a quality of service with at least one of said red side IP network router and said black side IP network router.

12. The method of providing a secure communication with a portable, deployable communication system according to claim 7 , wherein:

said data tunnel is a dedicated data tunnel.
