World Connect Service provides encryption of data transmissions over public IP networks using Certes boxes. Certes boxes use IPSec technology to encrypt entire IP packets in tunnel mode and encapsulate them for secure network-to-network communications. Benefits include data confidentiality, encryption/decryption, key management, and automatic session management. Certes boxes support full mesh, hub-and-spoke, and peer-to-peer topologies over layer 3 IPsec tunnels. WTD teams play a role in understanding the customer topology and performing basic speed/duplex settings during circuit turn up.
