Abstract :
ATM encryption allows users to select an appropriate algorithm to implement security services for a given transmission. This flexibility is especially helpful when the choices for encryption algorithms between transmission points are limited. Algorithm flexibility also helps reduce operational costs, since multiple algorithms-which are typically implemented in several encryptors-can all be implemented in one device
