Encryption

Encryption is a process of disguising information

 

into “ciphertext,” or data that will be unintelligible to

 

an unauthorized person attempting access to the

 

media.

 

In the WebCommander the behavior of the system

 

at a conference and participant level is dependant

 

on MCU system.cfg flag settings set in the MGC

 

Manager.

 

In the Web Server Manager encryption must be

 

enabled in the Default -Conference Defaults by

 

selecting the Settings2 - Encryption box. In the

 

Participants Defaults - Settings2 you can select the

 

appropriate Encryption default setting - Auto/On/

 

Off.

 

Encryption supports all types of audio and video

 

conferences including ISDN and IP participants.

 

The following guidelines apply to encryption:

 

Encrypted can be enabled at the conference or

 

participants level

 

Endpoints must support both AES 128

 

encryption and DH 1024 key-exchange

 

standards to encrypt and to join an encrypted

 

conference
