SmartMesh networks are among the most secure mesh networks available. All traffic in a SmartMesh network is protected by end-to-end encryption, message integrity checking, and device authentication. Additionally, the SmartMesh network manager contains applications that enable the secure joining of the network, key establishment, and key exchange. These security features provide:
| Feature | Benefit |
|
Device Authentication |
Choose from three increasingly strong levels of device authentication |
| Encryption | 128 bit AES-based encryption with multiple keys ensures privacy and confidentiality of the data |
|
Message integrity check (MIC) |
Data transmitted is protected by message authentication codes to ensure that it has not been tampered with |
|
Synchronized key changeovers |
The entire network changes over to a new encryption key automatically |
|
Customized key rotation |
The customer decides how often the network should change keys, trading off extra security with additional network traffic |
