Hey guys,

I apologize in advance because this is a ridiculously broad question, but I really don't know where to start.

I work in a Tandberg shop, and while not a current requirement, i want to get somewhat well versed in VTC encryption and security because I'm sure that these questions will soon start coming, and when they do, I'd like to be prepared.

With that said, I really know NOTHING about VTC security. I know that all of my devices support AES and 3DES, but how do you even go about beginning to implement it? I just don't grasp the concepts. I'm guessing there's a key on each side, but how do you implement this into a Tandberg?

I don't necessarily need someone to explain it all to me, but if anyone could just point me to a few grassroots resources, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks so much.

All TANDBERG endpoints, MCUs etc support AES and DES (not 3DES) and should be a standard feature in the product. All you need to do is make sure the feature is enabled in the user menu under Security. The rest is automatic (key generation etc).
