Abstract

See full text

A secure communication network serves a plurality of terminals grouped into different security categories. Each terminal includes a replaceable security element containing a security algorithm specific to the security category to which the terminal is assigned. Upon the breach of a particular security version, the security elements in the affected category are replaced with new elements containing a different algorithm. The security elements are relatively low cost, and can be replaced on an as needed or periodic basis to maintain system security.
