IPSec is an industry driven standard that ensures confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of an IP network. The Ravlin IPSec Card is based on the Ravlin CryptoCore technology and the Intel i960 processor. The system image resides in flash memory, and can be remotely updated at runtime. The Ravlin IPSec Card is interoperable with RavlinSoft, a software client application that provides the same security as a Ravlin hardware unit. This tool provides robust security management by allowing multiple levels of security among Ravlin hardware units and RavlinSoft clients.
Network managers can also monitor traffic between units and modify existing configurations.
As a management tool, Ravlin Node Manager is complementary to standard SNMP managers like HP OpenView for monitoring, displaying statistics, and sending alarms.

A Ravlin IPSec Card can exchange keys and encrypted communications with any other IPSec-compliant products so customers can use multiple IPSec vendors for multiple scenarios.
