KG-255X HAIPE and EDE-CIS Encryptor
Ultimate flexibility for tactical to enterprise data protection
As a rugged, flexible National Security Agency (NSA)-certified High Assurance, 2 Gbps (aggregate) Inline Network Encryptor (INE), the Viasat KG-255X offers enterprise or tactical network-level Internet Protocol (IP) data protection up to Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI), helps reduce network overhead, and seamlessly integrates into networks.

Rugged for tactical and powerful for infrastructure, the KG-255X offers optimum flexibility by leveraging either 200 Mbps or 2 Gbps aggregate processing power and both Layer 3 HAIPE or True Layer 2 EDE-CIS and VLAN. In addition to flexibility in both speed and network protocol, the KG-255X has a software-programmable architecture to meet evolving cybersecurity requirements. It supports standard copper, fiber single-mode/multi-mode small form-factor pluggables (SFPs) commonly used with networking equipment.
Thermal design and packaging provide effective power management, high reliability, and lower touch temperatures. With the KG-255X, you can remotely rekey a network of HAIPE devices from a physically secure location with HAIPE-to-HAIPE over-the-air/net keying, and you can improve performance over high-latency links with embedded Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) acceleration (xPeP). Our INE supports configurations for one-to-one, many-to-one and many-to-many multicast scenarios, improving flexibility and reducing administrative overhead.

Beyond Encryption
Transitioning to next-generation hardware
Establishing a foundation for continuous threat resistance
- Transition legacy high-assurance encryption devices to next-generation hardware platforms.
- Enable incremental NSA-driven upgrades on a path toward future-ready cryptography.
- Extended operational lifespan while maintaining mission assurance.
Why transition now?
- Rapid advances in computing and cryptanalysis are reshaping the threat landscape.
- Long-deployed high-assurance hardware faces growing risk as adversary capabilities evolve.
- Proactive modernization is essential to protect U.S. and allied classified communications.
