Why choose SkyTale?

How it works

SkyTale comes in two variants depending on classification level and operational environment. 

Defence Secret Static (DSS)

IP network encryptor for Secret and Top Secret communications. Early adopter: Ministry of Defence.

  • Classification: Secret / Top Secret
  • Encryption: headers + payload (full network)
  • Throughput: up to 1 Gbit/s
  • Scalable to 1,000 ECUs per segmented network
  • Layer 2 bridge + mesh networking
  • Role-based management, no physical key exchange

Defence Confidential Vehicle (DCV)

IP payload encryptor for Confidential communications from vehicles and mobile units. Operationally deployed by the Ministry of Defence.

  • Classification: Confidential
  • Encryption: payload only, combined with ad-hoc router
  • Throughput: ~40 MB/s
  • Optimised for low-bandwidth connections (5G/4G/satcom/wifi)
  • Supports standard IP routing, multicast and QoS
  • No physical key exchange

The SkyTale product family consists of a range of IP network encryptors for the secure communication of classified information over untrusted networks, supported by an actively maintained roadmap.

Each solution deployment consists of multiple systems:

One Key Management System (KMS)

The station that generates the keys used to encrypt the sensitive data.

One Cryptographic Management System (CMS)

Consisting of one or more CMS nodes. The nodes automatically distribute the key material from the KMS and load the configuration and key material into the ECU. The CMS is also used to diagnose and resolve problems.

Two or more End Cryptographic Units (ECUs)

The ECU provides encryption and decryption of the sensitive data designed for the highest security levels

The SkyTale solution allows interconnecting multiple distinct customer networks through untrusted external networks. The confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data on the customer networks will be protected.
