AT#E Encryption

The #E command allows you to select DES encryption operating mode.

The #E1 command enables standard DES encryption.

DES encryption allows you to encrypt data being passed to a remote modem. The remote modem must support Cipher Feedback (or CFB) DES encryption to decrypt the data sent from your modem. You may compress the data before encryption using %C option.

The #E2 command enables the SuperSecure option.

Full details on Encryption and SuperSecure can be found in this guide in the Security Section.

WARNING

Only reliable error correction modes should be used with DES. This ensures only DES connections will be established with another modem. Refer to the \N command for details of the error correction modes.

For countries other than Australia, DES encryption is only available to end users who meet the security requirements of the Australian Department of Defence. Contact your modem supplier for details of making application for a DES equipped modem to be supplied to you.
