Encrypting radio transmissions
Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP systems employ the following form of encryption
for security of the wireless link:
DES (Data Encryption Standard)
: An over-the-air link encryption option that uses
secret 56-bit keys and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit permutations,
substitutions, and recombination operations on blocks of data. DES encryption does
not affect the performance or throughput of the system.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard):
An over-the-air link encryption option that
uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys to establish a higher level of security than
DES. AES products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing
Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A.
