NEW DELHI: Computer experts are resorting to old technology for creating a secure Internet network for sensitive ministries with the help of the Department of Telecommunications.
The DoT through the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) has set up secured and dedicated communication network (SDCN) in some of the sensitive ministries for intra-departmental classified communication, official sources said.
The project is in a testing stage and is expected to be completed by November end, they said.
The technology being adopted was Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) where copper or optical fibre is laid underground and interception is made difficult for hackers. Besides this, this technology offers advantages over traditional technologies such as increased efficiency, faster speed, and improved management.
The work related to the network roll-out in the national capital, the sources said.
