Tamper Switch and Zeroization

The following ETEP models include a tamper switch: ET0010A, ET0100A, ET1000A, and ET10000A. The switch is activated if the ETEP cover is removed while the unit is operating or if the ETEP detects that the cover is open while it is booting. When the ETEP detects that the switch is activated it enters an error state, zeroizes the appliance’s keying material, and discards all traffic. Zeroization has the same effect as issuing the filesystem-resetcommand.

The following events occur when the ETEP is zeroized:

Alarm LED illuminates

The ETEP sends a critical error trap

The ETEP discards all packets that it receives on the local and remote ports

Ethernet management port communication is disabled. You will be unable to manage the ETEP using EncrypTight Manager.

CLI login is disabled via the serial port and Ssh Data files are permanently deleted, including log files The file system is reset to factory defaults

The zeroization process takes about 20 minutes to complete.
