The TalkSECURE Wireline terminal is a software architected solution capable of encrypting both voice and data. The TalkSECURE Wireline terminal provides High Assurance Security to commercial and international customers.
The compact, lightweight device interfaces simply with standard analog desktop phones or attaches to a personal computer. The small footprint allows it to be used in a stationary environment with minimal space, or as a portable device easily transported to remote or temporary locations.
Moderately priced, the TalkSECURE Wireline terminal enables more users to implement the security they should be using, but could not previously afford. Its simple operation makes secure calling virtually transparent, and improved technology offers voice quality equal to that of a call in the clear.
Note: In order to send an encrypted call, both the caller and the receiver must have one of the TalkSECURE products.

Secure interoperability with Sectéra Wireless and Wireline products designed to protect U.S. Government classified communications
Fully Software Programmable Key Generation with Software Update Capability
Encryption
General Dynamics uses the 128-bit Rijndael Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm to provide end-to-end encryption for user voice and data traffic. Unique traffic keys are established for each call and these keys are created and exchanged using General Dynamics’ Automatic Public Key (APK) system. APK uses standard P-224 Elliptic Curve Cryptography which is defined in FIPS 186-2 (superceded by FIPS 186-3 in 2009, found here) and provides a cryptographic strength exceeding that of 2048-bit RSA.
