The ArubaOS Advanced Cryptography (ACR) module brings military-grade Suite B cryptography to Aruba Mobility Controllers, enabling user mobility and secure access to networks that handle controlled unclassified, confidential and classified information.
Approved by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), Suite B is a set of publicly available algorithms that serve as the cryptographic base for unclassified information and most classified information. Unlike the previous generation of cryptosystems, known as Suite A or Type I, Suite B improves performance, eliminates unwieldy workflows and strict handling requirements, allows interoperability, and supports commercially available mobile devices - all at a fraction of the cost of Suite A.
The NSA has authorized the use of Suite B to facilitate the sharing of sensitive and classified information among multiple departments as well as to bring secure mobility to commercial laptops, tablets and smartphones.
The ArubaOS ACR module is a licensed option on any Aruba Mobility Controller, allowing governments and organizations that handle sensitive or confidential information to securely and cost effectively utilize commercial mobile technology for classifiedgrade networks.
