COMMAND MEANING
#E Encryption
The #E command allows you to select DES encryption operating mode.
The #E1 command enables standard DES encryption.
DES encryption allows you to encrypt data being passed to a remote
modem. The remote modem must support Cipher Feedback (or CFB)
DES encryption to decrypt the data sent from your modem. You may
compress the data before encryption using %C option.
The #E2 command enables the SuperSecure option.
Full details on Encryption and SuperSecure can be found in this guide
in the Security Section.
WARNING
Only reliable error correction modes should be used with
DES. This ensures only DES connections will be established
with another modem. Refer to the \N command for details
of the error correction modes.
FFor countries other than Australia, DES encryption is only available
to end users who meet the security requirements of the Australian
Department of Defence. Contact your modem supplier for details of
making application for a DES equipped modem to be supplied to you.
