Dante Media Encryption
Secure Your Media Flows
Dante Media Encryption protects the content of media flows across thousands of existing Dante devices using strong AES-256 encryption, safeguarding media from interception or unauthorized access.

Meet your secure communication needs
Dante Media Encryption works with your existing devices to protect media flows. This enables you to meet organizational and governmental security requirements and protect the privacy of your communications.

Designed for secure communication
Security is a core principle of Dante networks, implemented with a multilayer security architecture.
Secure Devices
Devices boot securely and are kept up to date with frequent security firmware updates developed in partnership with manufacturers and Audinate development teams.
Protection
Security keys are managed using Dante management software that are protected behind user authentication with encrypted communication between the manager and device.
Encrypted Media Streams
The final piece of the puzzle is the enablement of encrypted media streams between manufacturers and devices using Dante Media Encryption.
Encryption between diverse devices & manufacturers
Dante Media Encryption capabilities are fully compatible between updated devices in Dante networks. Encryption is implemented on a device level with a firmware update. Secure connections between devices are enabled through Dante management software, including Dante Director and Dante Domain Manager, which provide secure access controls, network segmentation, policy management, event logging, strong encryption key management and key rotation for enrolled devices. Contact your device manufacturer for details about firmware updates to support Dante Media Encryption.
