tait帮助保护通信在空中
Tait Radio Communications, a global leader in providing radio solutions for public safety, will launch a new encryption solution at this year's APCO International Conference and Expo in Houston, TX, Aug 1-4.
The new Tait Key Management Facility (KMF) is a flexible, powerful tool for any agency seeking to confidently and efficiently manage its P25 encryption across their entire fleet. This managed encryption helps remove the threat of eavesdroppers listening in on private conversations between public safety first responders.
"The critical aspect is that the keys used to encrypt and decrypt messages are managed well, because badly managed encryption can be worse than no encryption at all," says Simon Britten Tait Senior Product Manager who is presenting "Improving radio communications through better Encryption Management," at the APCO show.
"Only the easy-to-use Tait KMF has a custom Dashboard enabling each crypto officer to see information the way they need to. Different teams' keys can be updated at a time to suit their operational profile," says Simon. "The Tait KMF can update groups of radios over the air, at the press of a button. Other manufacturers' P25 radios can also be managed conveniently, while remote diagnostics save technicians' time.
“Secure radio communications are essential for public safety organizations wanting to improve the safety of their staff and the communities they serve. Crucial and sensitive information is often exchanged across radio communications networks, and if intercepted by third parties, this information could compromise the safety of first responders as well as the general public. These first responders will share high quality information and perform at their best when they are confident that their messages are heard only by the intended recipients," adds Simon.
"The biggest threat to secure encryption comes internally. In particular, key and radio mismanagement can leave an organization more vulnerable than if they do not have encryption. If encryption is compromised as a result of poor key management procedures it can often lead to a heavily increased workload, result in heavy financial costs or worse: put first responders and the public in danger. Tait has developed an encryption solution and offers a range of services to ease the burden of secure communications for public safety agencies," concludes Britten.
TAIT关键管理设施提供了几个重要的优势：
- 易于使用和可自定义：作为唯一带有自定义仪表板的简介，这种空中重新重写（OTAR）工具使每个Crypto官员能够设置，排序和查看他们感兴趣的钥匙，组，收音机和任务。
- Meets different teams' needs: Benefit from total DES/AES security while also enabling different teams' keys to be updated at a time which suits their size and operational profile. This increased confidence in the system greatly reduces RF traffic and user requests to rekey.
- Makes the complex simple: Reminders helpfully prompt when keys may need changing, while Key Update Tasks can be scheduled and deployed without the crypto officer being present. Status bars show how current keys and update tasks are, and color coding and visual displays make decision-making clear and simple.
- 时间和金钱的价值：所有设备上的一套完整的诊断允许加密人员通过避免完全访问来解决问题并解决问题，并通过避免访问来解决问题的时间和金钱。
- 与Tait Otar的安全性和确定性：严重管理的加密可能比根本没有加密更糟糕。选择高效且易于使用的TAIT KIAIT作为TAIT P25常规或集群的OTAR基础设施解决方案的一部分，确保官员和公民将更安全。
- Comprehensive solution: Have confidence that all radios are accessible with Tait's key transfer capability. Commission new radios or update radios that are not reachable by the OTAR system by transferring keys from the KMF to a Tait Key Fill Device (KFD).
Tait has developed an industry-leading encryption management solution based on the requirements and advice of our customers. The solution components comprise a KMF, KFD and over the air rekeying (OTAR) supported by Tait P25 networks and terminals.
