SEP / SEP-E




Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator v4.0 introduces a new Scalable Encryption Processing (SEP) module known as the SEP-E. The SEP-E is supported with v4.0 and later software only. Older modules will also be supported with v4.0. The SEP-E module adds support for high-speed Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption, in addition to Data Encryption Standard (DES) and Triple DES (3DES). Prior SEP modules will continue to support AES in software.
