Specifying a Data Encryption Level
If an appliance has been upgraded to the appropriate firmware version, a DS user may set an
encryption level to use for encoding keyboard and mouse data packets sent over a video session to
the appliance. Port 2068 is used for sending the encoded keyboard and mouse data. Video data is
sent over port 8192.
Table 4.2 lists the appliances and firmware versions that support the specifying of data
encryption levels.
Three levels of encryption are available:
• DES (Data Encryption Standard) - This method encrypts and decrypts data in 64-bit blocks,
using a 64-bit key
• 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard) - This method uses three stages of DES and provides
additional security
• 128-bit - This method encrypts packet data using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol
The specified encryption level will be applied to all video sessions established on the appliance.
Encryption levels may not be set for older DS appliances/DSR switches or those switches not listed
in Table 4.2. These DS appliances/DSR switches only use DES encryption and send video and
encrypted keyboard and mouse data over port 8192.
See Appendix B for more information on ports.
