BlackSER AES by Engage Black is an in-line Serial Data Encryptor with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliant cryptography and hardware. It encrypts serial data on the DCE interface with a 256-bit AES key and sends it out the DTE interface, while data on the DTE interface is decrypted with a 256-bit AES key and sent out the DCE interface. BlackSER AES is designed to retrofit existing serial communications systems with a bump-in-the-wire design, protecting meters, protective relays, PLCs, RTUs, and computers from unauthorized access, control, eavesdropping, and attacks by authenticating and encrypting all serial data communications.
