A new proprietary network designed specifically for security monitoring and control is described.

Abstract

The network provides data encryption and device authentication, using encryption techniques to prevent unauthorized viewing or alteration of system communications data. It also may be deployed over various mixed mediums and has features for the implementation over redundant mediums. The network has been installed at several high security sites and has performed well. Future network enhancements in the form of user defined processes are anticipated. 6 figures, 4 references.
