CAUTOR / Encryption System for Foreign Affairs



CAUTOR is a crypto system developed by Kongsberg Defense Communications AS/Norway to protect data communication between Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and Embassies and it is equally well suited for other message based applications.

The basic system consists of three main components, the Red PC, the Black PC and the Nordcoder:

  1. Red PC:The Red PC is handling reception and transmission of classified plain messages
  2. Black PC:The Black PC is the system's interface against the outside world. If the system operates in its' off-line mode, the only active component is the Black PC. Any incoming message will be stored on the Black PC's hard disk until the rest of the system is activated.
  3. Nordcoder: The Nordcoder is the encryption unit and is placed between the Red and the Black PC. The Nordcoder act as a security barrier between the plain and encrypted side of the system. All traffic coming from the Red PC is encrypted before entering the Black PC. Likewise if the message is destined for this location, Nordcoder will decrypt incoming traffic.
