4. N 200 AVpro2 1 2 Introduction 7 Data security and radiation The dLAN 200 AVpro2 devices are protected with AESpro 128 This is a com bination of 128 bit triple AES encryption Advanced Encryption Standard and a time lock when entering a new password This procedure represents reliable protection for your dLAN network against unauthorized access Two modes of attack would be conceivable but both will fail thanks to the AESpro encryption In order to find the appropriate key for decrypting the data a brute force attack might be launched In such an attack all possible letter and number combina tions in the chip are tested one after the other But given the huge number of key combinations and a maximum transmission rate between the PC and the chip of 100 Mbps Ethernet port a brute force attack of this kind would require an average of 45000 years in order to succeed Another type of attack would be to intercept encrypted raw data Based on the raw data it might be possible to obtain certain clues regarding the key and thus to gain access to the raw data However with dLAN technology the encrypted raw data cannot be intercepted from the power circuit because the chip does not forward encrypted data directly to the network interface In the chip the signal is both encrypted and modulated directly so an attacker would only be able to gain access to the modulated data However this is useless to him because he has no way to back
