Secure Chorus utilises MIKEY-SAKKE as the encryption algorithm at its core and defines other protocols and codecs which Secure Chorus products must support. This provides for a number of key characteristics: end-to-end encryption and can be used in a variety of environments, both at rest (e.g. storage) and in transit (e.g. network systems). All products can be centrally managed, giving an enterprise full control of a system’s security as well as the ability to comply with any auditing requirements through a managed and logged process.
MIKEY-SAKKE has been approved by 3GPP (the collaboration project which provides system specifications for cellular telecommunications network technologies) for use in Mission-Critical applications, such as emergency services communications.
As a Partner Member Nine23 will collaborate and contribute to the development of an ecosystem of Secure Chorus Compliant Products and the development of further interoperability standards to drive secure communications technologies and promote the long-term security of our digitally-enabled economy.
