How Can I Ensure My Argent TCP/IP Connection Is Secure?

Remember, Argent is the choice of Intelink – Google ‘Intelink’ to see just who these bad boys are.

Argent has a Built-in Encryption Algorithm

The CRC-64 built in the packet prevents any external data manipulation

Using the built-in encryption mechanism further prevents external data peeking

Argent provides ECB and OFB algorithms

The encryption seed changes from packet to packet

The encryption is initiated by the client, which allows you to set a different encryption level for different remote sites

Of course the encryption adds some CPU overhead

For links that are already secured through VPN, or trusted sites, you might consider using no encryption, but we don’t recommend it

(It may be secure today, but that might all change after a Service Pack…)

The default setting is no encryption, which can be adjusted in the registry path

Argent AT 3.1A-1501-C and above:

32-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Argent\COMMON\TCP_ENCRYPT_LEVEL

64-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Argent\COMMON\TCP_ENCRYPT_LEVEL

Prior to Argent AT 3.1A-1501-C:

32-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Argent\{Argent Product}\TCP_ENCRYPT_LEVEL

64-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Argent\{Argent Product}\TCP_ENCRYPT_LEVEL

0 is for no encryption

1 is for ECB

2 is for OFB

The {Argent Product} in Argent AT versions prior to 3.1A-1501-C are as follows:
