Secure Video Conferencing Solution for Government and Army
The
recent imbroglio caused by an Israeli company compromising Indian
Whatsapp accounts underlines the fact that even end to end encryption
offered by freeware communication solutions are simply not enough.
The Indian Government’s military advised its officers to avoid
Facebook and Whatsapp for official use. Governments and military need
video
conferencing but
not just any common garden variety of video conferencing. They need
highly secure, high quality, totally reliable solutions that will
handle any load and work under any conditions, even in emergency
situations. Asterisk
Video conferencing solutions for
government and army offer highest levels of security for such
communications.
Full
facilities and features
Video
conferencing in government permits better and faster collaboration
while reducing costs but security is vital in all areas such as
police, courts, hospitals, ministerial communications, fire fighting
and disaster relief operations as well as training. Video
conferencing saves costs and facilitates work, sometimes coming in
quite useful as in the case of disaster relief. One feature is WebRTC
inclusion that permits encrypted and safe video conferencing, chat,
document sharing and presentation feature that military and
governments will find useful. Then there are times when conferencing
must be absolutely confidential as happens in the case of meeting of
top level administrators. WebRTC
comes in useful with its inherent security features. However,
Asterisk Service video conferencing solutions embed high level
security protocols over existing security protocols. The solution
stays compliant with country specific laws.
Protocols
and security
Asterisk
has embedded segregated management, media encryption and signaling
encryption in its video
conferencing software. Reliability and fast communications are
taken care of by scalable video coding regardless of internet
bandwidth and speed. Suitable procedures are incorporated in the
software to assure information security and compliance needs and to
detect threats in time as well as breaches if and when they do occur.
The software is open to SOC2 audit, complying with privacy trust
service and security principles in accordance with NIST standards.
-
Asterisk Service makes use of third party testing and assessment to provide reliable certification of its conferencing solution’s security aspect.
-
Signaling encryption is part of the architecture, taken care of by 256 bit AES over TLS encryption for endpoint and server communication. Key exchanges are handled by Diffie Hellman or RSA and the keys encrypt SRTP media traffic making it impossible for hackers to sniff packets.
-
Unlike normal password logins the conferencing solution for government and military makes use of tokens to identify application and user thereby providing additional security layer. Tokens have expiration time, are unique and cannot be reused. Only if the token is entered within the time period can a user participate in the conference.
-
Asterisk Service makes use of FIPS 140-2 cryptographic libraries to assure higher levels of security for military and government conferencing and communications.
Asterisk
Service video conferencing solution for military and government is a
cut above the commercially used video conferencing solution, layered
with security and encryption to assure peace of mind.
