Mobile Environment Security Architecture (MESA) Secure VPN
Strong Encryption and Authentication
Apriva’s MESA secure VPN’s security architecture is used by government agencies and commercial enterprises seeking secure mobile connections over cellular, Wi-Fi, or multiprotocol label switching (MPLS). Apriva’s MESA Gateway combines the security of the MESA-VPN with the command-and-control features of the MESA-CCS. The MESA Gateway meets the NSA’s CSfC trusted integrator requirements and is offered in two configurations: Enterprise or Tactical.
Government Security Pedigree
Apriva’s MESA VPN is a standards-based Secure VPN concentrator with no proprietary modes of operation, and supporting most native VPN clients in Microsoft, Android, and Apple iOS operating systems. The MESA VPN supports full IKEv2 and MOBIKE standards, and Apriva’s entropy and random number generation uses optical physics to generate strong encryption that exceeds the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication SP800-90A Recommendations for Random Number Generation. Government organizations and commercial entities trust Apriva to deliver:
- Technology compliant with the Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 8100.2
- Use of strong Federal Information Processing Standard Publication (FIPS PUB) 140-2 cryptography
- Full DoD public key infrastructure (PKI) enablement
- Supports Suite B Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) GCM and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128/256; RSA; IKEv2 CBC 128, ECDSA 256/384, SHA 256/384; and user-defined modes
- Apriva’s MESA VPN can also be used for tunnel nesting and remote access to support NSA’s Site-to-Site Capabilities Package.
