The KoolSpan Platform consists of three components, each containing proven security technology: a Smart Card. KoolSpan Locks, Keys, and Enterprise Manager work together to provide an unmatched security model, without servers or user complexity. Whether in the Lock-to-Key or Lock-to-Lock configuration, the KoolSpan Platform Solution is powered by Smart Card-to-Smart Card architecture.
KoolSpan’s use of Smart Cards allow for robust and secure authentication in an existing validated technology. Embedded in each Lock and Key, Smart Cards are used as trusted components that independently authenticate each other and securely compute 256-bit AES session keys which are then used to protect all network communications.
KoolSpan provides Layer 2, on-chip Ethernet Encryption, and the session key is changed with every packet. Layer 2 implementation provides true bridging, and results in transparent operation to all higher layer protocols such as IP or applications. The AES algorithm encrypts without expanding the size of the source data, resulting in no impact on performance or speed.
The KoolSpan solution can be used for a variety of applications in any network environment. It operates as either a point solution or singular security solution addressing multiple security needs simultaneously. For example, KoolSpan can be used to secure VoIP calls, provide protected Remote Access without a VPN, secure Wi-Fi in the office and at public hotspots, secure Ethernet for multi-site Bridging or Backbone encryption across private or public networks. In all cases, KoolSpan operates without modification to, or impact on, the applications and networks it protects.
